In order to facilitate their integration into AMU, international students can rely on two mechanisms that allow them to benefit from the support of local students and teachers.
The sponsorship program
The International Relations Department of Aix-Marseille University has set up a sponsorship programme BuddySystem developed by the ESN.
The principle is simple: to put an international student who has come to study at Aix-Marseille University in contact with a French student in order to facilitate his/her integration.
The role of the sponsor will be to inform and guide the sponsored student and to help him/her make new friends! Through the BuddySystem, both the sponsor and the sponsored student are called BUDDYs!
You are free to organize your own program.
It's up to you to make this exchange as enriching as possible!

Mentoring
Mentoring, which is different from and complementary to tutoring or sponsorship, is the support provided by one of our teachers responsible for the exchange. Throughout your mobility and your stay at AMU, the teacher will advise you, guide you and help you with the procedures.
For more information, contact your mobility manager: consult the DRI directory.
