Back to school at Inalco

Updated 09/16/2025: 7pm

To get your university year off to a good start and quickly become self-sufficient, take part in the back-to-school meetings and stands organized from September 8 to 19, 2025 as part of Back-to-School Days. They're an opportunity to familiarize yourself with your new world and your place of study.

Welcome to Inalco!

The "journées de rentrée" (back-to-school days) are specially dedicated to welcoming and informing new entrants to the introductory year, Licence 1, Licence plus and Tempo. These days are compulsory, but they are also important for L2 and L3 students who are new to a course of study, as well as for new entrants to Master's programs and institutional diplomas. We invite you to consult the program of meetings, workshops and courses organized according to your enrolment level
