Label Bienvenue en France

Label BeF
All audiences

As an international student in France, your experience depends not only on the quality of the academics, but also on the quality of support services that your institution and community provides.  

To help students identify institutions with robust support services, and also provide a national framework of standards to guide institutions, Campus France launched a certification program for international student services called the Label Bienvenue en France.
