Thematic: Welcome and orientation

Our associations welcome you

There are numerous student associations at the Université de Lorraine. Some of them are more specifically dedicated to international students.

Learning French in Lorraine

Would you like to take French as a Foreign Language (FLE) courses during your doctoral studies, employment, or research stay in Lorraine?
Several options are available, depending on the time you wish to dedicate, your budget and your availability.

Welcome! kit

The Welcome! Kit is a guide in French, English and Spanish presenting all the welcome and support services available to the Université de Lorraine’s international students.

Guest postdocs and researchers

The Welcome@Lorraine program provides international researchers hosted by LUE’s local partners with “VIP” assistance for stays of at least 3 months.

Welcome Events

You are a new international student at the University of Lorraine (UL)!
To celebrate the start of the January term, the Welcome Desk of the UL is delighted to invite you to meet us at our Welcome Days in Nancy on January 29 and in Metz on February 5.

Learning French with DéFLE

Prepare for your academic year at the Université de Lorraine by participating in the intensive FFL program organised by the DéFLE (Department of French as a Foreign Language). 1 or 2 weeks of classes? It’s up to you!

Joining the Buddy System

A “buddy” is a tandem made up of a local student and an international student on an exchange program or free mover.
Thanks to the Buddy System, you can meet a local student who will guide you throughout your stay in France.

Students with disabilities

Going to university is a major step for any student. All the more so if you have special needs connected with a disability.
