Welcoming you when you arrive

When you arrive, you will be welcomed by an ISAE SUPAERO host who will provide you with practical information about getting settled and your final enrollment. All students in the Ingénieur ISAE SUPAERO program (MSc) will participate in a week-long integration course (visits of the school and Toulouse along with activities to help new students get to know each other and other ISAE-SUPAERO students).

I was immediately welcomed by a committee of older students and they organised a series of events so we all got to know each other better
