A WORD FROM THE DEAN
Dear students,
It gives me great pleasure to welcome you all to our Faculty of Arts, Letters, Languages and Humanities.
A new academic year at the University is not quite like any other!
You're about to discover a new working and learning environment, but also a place where knowledge is transmitted and produced in an unparalleled wealth and diversity.
Our Faculty is open to the world, and we're offering you a part of it too. We are, in fact, a World Faculty, welcoming several thousand students of all nationalities to our community every year, and several hundred of our students are ambassadors for our faculty as part of their international mobility.
Our Faculty is also a place where we welcome the differences and diversities inherent in the people who make up our community. This tradition of welcoming also applies to the disciplines taught in our Bachelor's, Master's and PhD programs, as well as to the knowledge produced in our research units, for which our University is renowned.
You will be offered a wide range of opportunities to get involved in the fields of culture, sport, knowledge enhancement, student involvement, creativity and entrepreneurship. Don't hesitate to get involved in these areas, which are all opportunities to diversify and strengthen your academic and personal training.
University can give you the opportunity to meet other people, but also - and this is essential - to meet yourself. In many ways, knowledge is the very foundation of this encounter with oneself.
Studying at university is as much an end in itself as it is a path; it is as much a means as it is a personal experience.
I wish you all a wonderful academic year.Prof. Lionel Dany
