Meet, Grow, Share

Across all campuses and in spaces dedicated to student life, there are numerous initiatives that provide opportunities to have fun, relax, and develop transferable skills that are essential to academic success.

The University of Montpellier also welcomes many international students, who contribute fully to the richness and diversity of campus life.

Cultural and sports activities, community life, and festive events: everything is designed to foster social connections, personal growth, and a smooth journey through life.

A special, innovative annual program called “Boost Your English” is offered to all students. It features a variety of activities led by English-speaking instructors that provide opportunities to practice English for free in a fun way (tours of Montpellier, weekend trips, pottery workshops, etc.). Art workshops are regularly organized, particularly during school breaks, to help students get started or improve their skills in areas such as painting, theater, photography, botanical drawing, and more.

Listen, Support, Take Action

The university also provides essential support for students who are facing difficulties. Whether it’s breaking out of isolation, coping with a precarious situation, or receiving psychological or social support, several services are available to listen to and support them.

The Office of Student Life (BVE), a true driving force behind campus life, coordinates, organizes, and supports numerous initiatives within the university.

All of these initiatives are made possible in large part by the Student and Campus Life Contribution (CVEC). Finally, the Student Solidarity and Initiative Development Fund (FSDIE) provides support both for student organization initiatives and for students facing financial hardship.
