ICN Business School renews its “Bienvenue en France” label for another five years

In April 2026, the School was awarded a five-year renewal of the “Bienvenue en France” label, a distinction granted by Campus France to higher education institutions offering high-quality support and services to international students.

This renewed recognition highlights a long-term strategy developed by the School to ensure that the international experience is supported at every stage — before arrival, throughout studies and beyond graduation.

Today, ICN benefits from a network of 145 partner universities across 46 countries, enabling students to enjoy international academic experiences while welcoming learners from around the world each year.

A strategy designed to enhance the international student experience

The five-year renewal of the label reflects a clear ambition: to provide international students with a supportive, seamless and human-centred environment, regardless of their background or campus location.

To achieve this, the School has strengthened its organisation through the introduction of several dedicated initiatives for international students. These include a one-stop support service to simplify administrative procedures, the recruitment of specialised staff members and the development of a revamped Buddy Programme, allowing students to receive peer support from the moment they arrive.

ICN has also enhanced its student support system by offering more personalised academic and career guidance throughout the student journey.

An enriched student experience across all campuses

Beyond administrative support, the School aims to provide international students with a genuine and enriching life experience.

Welcome Days have been redesigned to help new students settle in more easily through practical workshops, presentations and meetings with School departments as well as external partners such as banks, healthcare services and public administration representatives.

Intercultural events are organised throughout the year to encourage interaction between French and international students. At the same time, ICN continues to develop digital tools to facilitate access to information, including a centralised support platform and a dedicated chatbot.

Preparing students for international careers

This strategy is also closely linked to employability and professional development. The School is expanding initiatives designed to support international students in building their careers, including enhanced support for internships and work-study placements, paid employment opportunities, dedicated scholarships and the creation of an international skills certificate.

ICN is also collaborating with corporate partners through its “International Creative Partner Club” to develop international projects and cross-school challenges.

With the renewal of the “Bienvenue en France” label for another five years, ICN Business School once again confirms its ambition to strengthen its international attractiveness while offering an increasingly inclusive, supportive and career-oriented student experience.
