What is the Buddy Program?

The Buddy Program is UCA's mentoring program. It connects newly arrived international students or PhD students with:

- a French student enrolled at the Université Clermont Auvergne,
- or an international student or PhD student who has already been at UCA for at least one year.

The goal? To make your integration into life in France easier and to create a rewarding cultural exchange.

Each incoming student or PhD student is matched with a mentor before their arrival in Clermont-Ferrand, depending on availability and after registering through the online form. Your buddy is a volunteer who will support you according to their availability — from discovering the campus and the city to much more.
