3 stars with the “Bienvenue en France” label 2025
In 2025, ENS Paris-Saclay was awarded three stars, a distinction awarded for five years to institutions committed to improving and promoting the welcome given to international students.
In 2025/2026, more than 200 international students chose to study at ENS Paris-Saclay.
The label
The quality of the welcome given to international students is a fundamental issue for the internationalization and attractiveness of French higher education. The “Bienvenue en France” label is awarded to institutions wishing to highlight their welcome facilities. It is awarded for five years by Campus France and validated by an independent commission.
The 23rd certification commission, which met in October 2025, renewed the “Bienvenue en France” label for eight institutions, including ENS Paris-Saclay via the application of Paris-Saclay University.
The commission is composed of members of institutional conferences, the CTI, the HCERES, and Campus France, and highlights higher education institutions that offer services to facilitate the studies and stays of international students.
The criteria are based on:
- the quality of support offered to students during their stay;
- the provision of clear and accessible information and accommodation solutions;
- the organization of events and activities throughout the year.
