NEW FACES AND A MOSAIC OF CULTURES

Coming from 28 different countries and speaking a wide range of languages, these students contribute fully to the international outlook of our university. This semester, UPEC is welcoming over 130 international exchange students.

Most of them come from European countries through the Erasmus+ program (70%).
Others join us from the United States through the Mission Interuniversitaire de Coordination des Échanges Franco-Américains (MICEFA), as well as from Latin America and Asia through international cooperation agreements between UPEC and their home institutions.

A WELCOME PROGRAM TO START THE SEMESTER ON THE RIGHT FOOT

Beginning on January 19, 2026, students took part in a welcome program designed to facilitate their arrival and integration at UPEC. The aim was to combine the delivery of essential information with opportunities for social interaction, through:
 
  • An introduction to UPEC and its student services by the Office of International Affairs
  • A French-level test for those wishing to attend French as a Foreign Language classes
  • A “Go International!” workshop focused on intercultural learning
  • An informal gathering in Paris to encourage connections and exchanges
Throughout their stay, our international exchange students will benefit from the guidance of international relations officers and academic coordinators in each faculty, school and institute.

We wish them an excellent semester at UPEC and a wonderful intercultural experience in France.
