Our Partners
3 types of partnerships
The UFR STAPS’s educational partners
These partnerships bring together organizations from the sports, education, socio-professional, and healthcare sectors (including associations, local governments, schools, and sports companies). They provide students with internship opportunities and apprenticeship contracts that allow them to apply the skills they’ve acquired at the university, gain practical experience, and gradually build their career plans.
These partnerships play a vital role in students’ career development by complementing their academic training with real-world experience, while allowing these organizations to benefit from the interns’ academic skills.
Institutional partners
The UFR STAPS’ institutional partners are primarily recognized sports federations, leagues, committees, and training organizations. Through partnership agreements and equivalency programs, these organizations enable students to earn federal certifications alongside 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 sector.
Within the University of Montpellier, we also rely on key partnerships with the SCUIO-IP, which supports career guidance, professional integration, and engagement with the socio-economic sector, 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 delivery 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, weight machines, field equipment, etc.) as well as service providers responsible for the upkeep, maintenance, and sometimes the upgrading of sports facilities (gyms, fields, specialized halls).
These partners play a key role in ensuring optimal conditions for practice, instruction, and safety for students and teachers.
