20 % of the AgroParisTech students are international students. In order to facilitate their life and studies at AgroParisTech, the International office is mostly devoted to their welcoming conditions, in association with other departments of AgroParisTech (Educational Department, Lodging Department, Students’ International Club). AgroParisTech provides accommodation to international students (they have a priority over the French students). Sometimes, AgroParisTech can help to get a scholarship. The Students’ International Club organises a “Buddy” system for international students and assist them in their arrival in France and their integration. In particular The International Students Cité of Paris offers the Reception Office for Mobile Students to welcome the students and to help them from the day they arrive (help with the formalities, inform on cultural gaps and proposes to each one, during their stay, language courses and leisure activities…).
