As with all business schools, our 22 student associations create a vibrant student life. Nearly 700 events are organized every year with budgets of up to 500,000 euros and teams of up to 60 students.
Taking part in student associations is almost an unavoidable requirement for a successful and flourishing student experience. Student associations help students integrate the school, try out various professional activities, meet and exchange with others… Student associations are first and foremost about the unique, interpersonal adventures they foster.
