 The CNOUS (Centre National des Œuvres Universitaires et Scolaires / Ministry of Education organization responsible for student support on practical day-to-day matters)Placed under the supervision of the Ministry of National Education, Higher Education and Research, the Centre National des Œuvres Universitaires et Scolaires (CNOUS) runs the CROUS network. Its objective is to give all students the same chances to access and succeed in higher education by assisting them in their day-to-day matters.

The CNOUS aims to make students’ lives easier in many areas: food, accommodation, scholarships and grants, social and cultural actions, opening up to the world, etc.
