Our tips for success
Live your academic journey to the fullest
Université Paris Cité offers its students many opportunities: studying abroad, getting involved in an association, following optional courses (‘UE libres’) to discover other disciplines, etc

Studying at Université Paris Cité requires autonomy and strong organizational skills. Each student has to do a great deal of individual work every day, even when there are no classes. We recommend that all our students do not neglect the lectures even if there is no attendance control.
