Each year, a series of welcome activities are planned for international students to better integrate among AMU students and life on campuses.
The mobility manager: your main contact
Whether it is before your arrival in France or once you arrive at AMU, the mobility manager on your campus should be your privileged interlocutor. The mobility manager will be able to provide you with information or direct you to the person or department that has answers to your questions.
