Montpellier School of Sports Science
Skills for sports, education, and health

Are you cut out for a degree in sports science?

Since the start of the 2018–19 academic year, the university admission process for recent high school graduates has changed. There is no longer a lottery system for admission to STAPS; instead, applicants’ applications are reviewed. Before considering applying, you must understand that the most important thing is not getting into the STAPS department, but graduating with a degree. Too many students fail in their studies because they have not understood the true nature of the programs offered in STAPS.

Below, you will find a document that explains the true nature of these programs, a questionnaire to help you determine if you are a good fit for Stapso, and a link to the OSIPE at the University of Montpellier. The Observatory of Professional Integration uses highly detailed survey results to track which jobs graduates hold, their employment status, income levels, industry sectors, and geographic regions.
