5. International Students Welcome Desk
As part of the national strategy of attractivity "Welcome to France", and following two editions in 2019 and 2021, the University of Tours is implementing a new Welcome Desk format for the 2022 academic year. In connection with various structures (Prefecture, CPAM, CAF, CROUS, and other student services), the Welcome Desk aims to facilitate all the steps of international students upon their arrival and to inform them of the services offered by the University of Tours and its partners, as well as to welcome them to Tours.
This year’s Welcome Desk will be directly on campus for two weeks, from 29 August to 9 September. All year long, the International Office of the University of Tours will also provide appointments at the Plat d'Etain.
