The Open House in a Nutshell

Across the university’s various campuses, visitors will be able to explore the more than 650 programs offered by the University of Montpellier in law, economics, business, health, science, education, and technology—whether through traditional degree programs, continuing education, or work-study programs. These open house events will provide an opportunity to showcase the 17 faculties, schools, and institutes through campus tours, visits to university libraries, and tours of student housing. Beyond exploring the campuses, the goal of this event is to foster dialogue with the entire university community, which is on hand to answer questions about the university’s programs and student life.

Finding housing, getting food, pursuing cultural activities, playing sports, accessing healthcare… it’s essential to be familiar with all the services that support daily student life and help you prepare for your upcoming years at university with peace of mind. In addition to opportunities to speak with representatives from the services that support daily student life, you’ll also have the chance to meet with the CROUS. The Handiversité team will also be present to provide information on the full range of support services available to students with disabilities.

Hours vary by location.
