Our Partners
3 Possible Types of Partnerships
The UFR STAPS' Educational Partners
They bring together organizations from the sports, educational, socio-professional, and healthcare sectors (nonprofit organizations, local governments, schools, sports companies, etc.). They offer students internship opportunities and apprenticeship contracts that allow them to put the skills they’ve acquired at the university into practice, gain hands-on experience, and gradually build their career plans.
These partnerships play a key role in students’ transition into the workforce by complementing their academic training with real-world experience, while allowing partner organizations to benefit from the students’ academic skills.
Institutional Partners
The UFR STAPS’ institutional partners are primarily sports federations, leagues, committees, and recognized training organizations. Through partnership agreements and equivalency programs, these organizations enable students to earn federal certifications while pursuing their university studies. These partnerships promote dual academic and professional recognition, enhance students’ employability, and ensure alignment between university education and the requirements of the sports community.
Within the University of Montpellier, we also rely on key partnerships with the SCUIO-IP, which supports career guidance, professional integration, and connections with the socio-economic world, the CFA EnSup LR, a key player in the development of apprenticeships in higher education, as well as the continuing education department, an essential partner in the design and implementation of lifelong learning programs. These collaborations strengthen the coherence of our initiatives and contribute to the appeal and professionalization of our programs.
Business Partners
Our business and technical partners specialize in sports facility equipment and management. These include companies that supply training equipment (ergometers, strength training machines, field equipment, etc.) as well as service providers responsible for the upkeep, maintenance, and, in some cases, bringing sports facilities (gyms, fields, specialized rooms) up to code.
These partners play a key role in ensuring optimal conditions for practice, instruction, and safety for students and instructors.
