At the Université Catholique de Lille, student and community life is a central part of the university experience. Our campuses are much more than places for academic learning; they are dynamic and inclusive spaces where students can flourish, connect and grow together.
At the heart of our University, community life is a fundamental pillar that enriches the daily lives of our students. With a multitude of associations covering a wide range of interests – whether sport, culture, entrepreneurship or social causes – every student has the opportunity to get involved and contribute to the university community.
Our student associations are places where people meet and share, where valuable skills are developed. By taking an active part in community life, our students gain practical experience and essential know-how that prepares them for success in their professional and personal lives.
In addition, we strive to create a supportive and inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and encouraged to express their ideas and pursue their passions. The events and projects organised throughout the year offer unique opportunities to have fun, learn and excel.
Discover how our University offers you much more than an academic education. The student and community life we offer will give you a university experience rich in discovery, learning and unforgettable encounters.
« Our University, an opportunity at the heart of transitions »
The Université Catholique de Lille is committed to this project through its research, its training and its service to society. Of course, this is achieved through the research and training programmes offered by the institutions, but also through the “life experiences” that are offered beyond this framework. For example, sports and a wide range of cultural and artistic activities help to develop the different dimensions of the human being. The chaplaincy offers a strong spiritual journey as well as a commitment to citizenship in the name of the Gospel. The many student associations provide a rich experience of collective creativity and effective solidarity. This collective life is also experienced in several university residences. Coupled with the courses offered by the institutions, these proposals promote “integral human development”, enabling each student’s professional project and, more broadly, their “life project” to take shape. So that each student becomes more involved in his or her own future, in a spirit of freedom, openness to the world and solidarity.
