Student Associations

A rich and eclectic campus life!

At Université Paris-Saclay, student association life is particularly dynamic. You will find sports, cultural, and artistic associations, student unions (BDEs), clubs, festivals, solidarity and humanitarian projects, technical production, photography, and many other initiatives.

Why get involved?

  • Meet other students
  • Participate actively in campus life.
  • Develop useful skills (organization, communication, project management).
  • Broaden your horizons and integrate better into university life.

Whether you want to join an existing association, start a project, or create your own, associative life is an integral part of the student experience at Université Paris-Saclay.
Get involved, experiment, propose, and dare: associations are a space for initiative, learning, and connection.

Use the student association directory to find the organization that meets your expectations and helps you thrive on the University's campuses.

As a student association, you can benefit from specific support if at least half of your board members are students within the faculties and IUTs of Université Paris-Saclay, as well as at Polytech.

Indeed, you can receive assistance to create, manage, and register your association, as well as to secure funding. Registering your association allows you to take advantage of financial and logistical support from the University.
