Welcome desk

A dedicated Welcome Desk for international students and scientists (BasiX) provides support and assistance to international students and scientists who join École Polytechnique. The BasiX department offers help with formalities linked to the arrival in France (residence permit, medical insurance, on-campus housing, etc.). The BasiX also accompanies international students to get familiar with the School and the community (cultural outings, team building activities, etc.). Attesting the quality of the assistance provided for international students, École Polytechnique has been awarded the three-star label “Bienvenue en France”.

Besides, École Polytechnique offers candidates admitted to one of its degree programs access the platform "LivinFrance" to facilitate administrative formalities before their arrival in France.
