Community life at an engineering school is an important part of students' daily lives, bringing them together around common interests, working together on projects and sharing experiences.
Associations can cover a wide range of themes, from sports clubs to debating clubs, from volunteer work to culture. Some associations have direct links with study programs and are an opportunity to improve technical knowledge, while others focus on leisure activities and social events that cement the student community. In all cases, leadership, communication and teamwork skills, invaluable in the working world, are reinforced by participation in associative activities.
Polytech Marseille's teaching and administrative staff encourage, value and support students in their initiatives.
