Student Life

Beyond the richness and diversity of the programs it offers, the UFR STAPS stands out for its dynamic, engaged, and supportive student life, which contributes fully to the fulfillment and success of each and every student.

This vitality is driven by the UFR's many student associations, which play an essential role in bringing the campus to life by organizing sporting, cultural, festive, and charitable events. They also work alongside student representatives to represent and defend the interests of all students, with a view to promoting high-quality study conditions that respect each individual's background and aspirations.

As Student Deputy Director, my role is to act as a permanent link between students, associations, the administration, and the various bodies of the UFR, such as the management board and the advisory committee. This mission is based on listening, dialogue, and cooperation, with the aim of communicating students' needs, proposals, and concerns, but also supporting student-led initiatives and projects.

I firmly believe that university life is built collectively. That is why I invite you to take an active part in the life of the UFR, to express yourself, to share your ideas, and to get involved, whatever form that may take. Every contribution counts and helps to continuously improve our study environment.

I remain, of course, at your disposal and would be delighted to work with you to meet your expectations, support your initiatives, and contribute, together, to enriching your university experience at the UFR STAPS at the University of Montpellier.

Lilya Benabid – Deputy Director of Student Affairs at the Department of Sports Science (UFR STAPS) at the University of Montpellier.
