Accommodation

Every year, the Paris campus offers a number of apartments at very competitive rents at the Cité internationale. As the number of apartments is limited, priority will be given to students who are the first to enroll in one of the LL.M. programs on the Paris campus.

Imagined in 1925 during the pacifist movement of the interwar period, the Cité internationale project was to participate in the construction of a peaceful world by creating a place where the young people of the world could learn to live together. Despite being a century old this project remains relevant.

The 43 campus houses offer students, researchers and artists an extraordinary human experience. Each unique, they were designed to offer the possibility of experimenting living together in an international environment. Everything is done to promote academic success and to encourage the creation of collaborative projects.

The Cité internationale has always been a pioneer in international mobility. Throughout the year, it welcomes and accompanies international students and researchers on campus and during their stay in the Île-de-France region and Paris.

Cafeteria and salad bar

The university and the Crous have worked to diversify the services offered to students at the Assas center, with a view to enhancing the quality and variety of the catering offer. New eco-responsible vending machines have been added to the cafeteria and salad bar, rounding out the range already available.

Librairies

In our most important centre lies a library that provides students with the most modern learning environment in the country. In addition to physical collections, the University also connects students to a comprehensive range of electronic resources and online access to over 35 000 books in electronic format, millions of journals and articles from top quality academic publishers. Students are able to access these resources both on and off campus so they can study at their convenience anytime, anywhere.
