Welcome Desk

As part of the national strategy of attractivity "Welcome to France", the University of Tours will be organizing a new Welcome Desk for the 2024/25 academic year.
In partnership with various structures (Prefecture, CPAM, CAF, CROUS, and other student services), the Welcome Desk aims at facilitating all the steps of international students upon their arrival, informing them of the services offered by the University of Tours and its partners, as well as welcoming them to Tours.

This year, the Welcome Desk will be directly on campus for 3 weeks, from September 2nd to September 20th 2024, between 11am and 2:00pm.

Upon arrival, please feel free to go to the "Welcome Desks" of your campus so that you can get some help with administrative matters: you can be helped with your CAF or CPAM applications, with your residence permit approval, and receive guidance about your integration into your new life in Tours.

All year long, the International Relations Office of the University of Tours also provides appointments at the Plat d'Etain campus:
Opening hours: Monday to Friday, 9:00-12:00am and 2:00-5:00pm
Location: Building A - Office A0260 - 60 rue du Plat d’Etain, 37000 Tours 
Bus: Arrêt Rabelais – Ligne 5

An online Welcome Desk planned on July 9th, 2024

The International Relations Office will be welcoming international students online on Tuesday, July 9th.
This is an opportunity to get all the useful information in order to prepare your stay in Tours as easily as possible.
Will be discussed: how to get to Tours or Blois, steps to be taken upon arrival, registration procedures, student and social life, events not to be missed at the start of the year, university calendar and course system, accommodation possibilities and financial advice, etc...

More information will be sent soon to all accepted students.
