International student welcome day

A look back at the welcome day for international students

Thursday October 3, 2024 was the traditional welcome day for international students preparing to spend a semester or more at ULCO.

On the program: good humor and exchanges for these students from the four corners of the world, gathered for the occasion on the ULCO Dunkerque campus. Organized by ULCO’s International Relations Department, the aim of the day is to provide students with all the information they need, and also to familiarize them in a fun way with the cultural differences they will encounter in France and on the Côte d’Opale during their stay.

Finally, this day (which ended with a great karaoke evening) enabled students from different backgrounds to get to know each other better and to forge the first bonds of solidarity and friendship.
