Community life

Meet new people, get involved in a cause or enjoy a cultural activity

Over 140 associations are on hand to welcome you. Their fields of activity are many and varied: humanitarian commitment, sport, culture, etc.

Joining a university association is a way of integrating yourself into the university and meeting students from different disciplines at different stages of their studies. It means discovering new horizons, the world around you and yourself. Synonymous with a fulfilling student life, associative involvement also contributes to academic success.

If you too would like to get involved and become a player in your university, don't hesitate to join one of the University of Montpellier's associations.
