An international strategy at the heart of aivancity’s DNA

aivancity was founded on a firm conviction: to train talent in artificial intelligence within a resolutely international environment that is open and connected to the world’s major AI ecosystems.
Our international strategy is based on three complementary pillars, which shape our academic development, our appeal and the experience we offer our students.
 

Recruiting and supporting international students

International diversity is a daily reality on our campuses.

Today, aivancity welcomes students from 39 different countries, representing over 50 per cent of our student body. This cultural, academic and human diversity is a vital asset to our educational model.

A truly global community

  • A multicultural learning environment that fosters openness, collaboration and collective intelligence
  • International cohorts preparing students to thrive in global professional contexts
  • An inclusive campus life, focused on cultural exchange and sharing

Dedicated support

  • Welcoming and integrating international students
  • Support with administrative procedures and settling in
  • Academic and language support services
 
Developing strategic international academic partnerships

aivancity pursues an active policy of international academic cooperation with prestigious institutions in Europe, India, China, Africa and the Middle East.

These partnerships aim to enhance the academic quality of our programmes, stimulate pedagogical innovation and contribute to international research in artificial intelligence.

Concrete and operational collaborations

Our partnerships result in initiatives offering significant added value:
  • Joint research projects addressing the technological, economic, ethical and societal challenges of AI
  • Organisation of short programmes (1 to 2 weeks): summer schools, intensive seminars, international boot camps
  • The development of joint programmes and dual degrees, enabling students to gain international academic recognition
  • Student exchanges for work placements, projects or semesters of study abroad
 

Offering immersive learning trips for aivancity students
