Student life

Supporting international students is one of our top priorities.

At ICN, we have implemented a number of measures to provide international students with guidance, support and, above all, a warm welcome, to ensure you feel right at home. The school has been awarded the Welcome to France label in recognition of the warm welcome we give to international students. The label is awarded by Campus France and honours French institutions that develop and promote services for international students.
