ITECH Lyon engineering school has reached a new milestone in its international development strategy. On March 5, 2026, the institution was awarded the Bienvenue en France label by Campus France.
This recognition highlights the school’s ongoing efforts to enhance the welcome and support it provides to international students, an area that has become central to its growth.
A Strong International Strategy
With this distinction, ITECH Lyon reaffirms its commitment to attracting more students from around the world. The school aims to further diversify its student body and enrich the academic and intercultural experience it offers.
The label is part of a broader initiative to structure and promote all services dedicated to international students, from their arrival through to their professional integration.
A Demanding Label
Created by Campus France, the “Bienvenue en France” label recognizes French higher education institutions that have developed high-quality support systems tailored to the needs of international students.
It serves as:
- a mark of quality for international students,
- a promotional tool for institutions,
- a driver of international visibility and influence.
To earn the label, institutions are assessed against several key criteria.
Criteria Focused on the Student Experience
The label is based on an in-depth evaluation of actions implemented across five essential areas:
- Quality and accessibility of information: clarity of procedures, availability of multilingual content
- Welcome services: administrative support, assistance with settling in
- Access to academic programs: adapted teaching methods, language support
- Campus life and housing: living conditions, social integration
- Post-graduation support: career placement and alumni networks
An additional component now evaluates institutions’ commitment to sustainable development and social and environmental responsibility, reflecting the growing expectations of students and institutions alike.
A Key Asset for the School’s Attractiveness
For ITECH Lyon, this label represents far more than symbolic recognition. It is a powerful lever for enhancing attractiveness in an increasingly competitive global higher education landscape.
By showcasing the quality of its welcome services, the school strengthens its credibility with international students and academic partners worldwide.
A significant step forward in building an ever more open, inclusive, and internationally oriented campus.
