By leading large-scale projects focusing on rehabilitation, economic development and improving student life, the Université de Lyon strives to make its facilities sustainable and to continually develop them, in order to offer all its students the best living conditions on campus.
Revitalizing campus life, improving the quality of student life and providing students with the means to grow through citizens' initiatives or initiatives organized by associations are all key to success throughout their university career. Thanks to its student life policy, the Université de Lyon is reaffirming the attractiveness of its study programs, campuses and region. This involves providing access to local services: housing, catering, healthcare, assistance for people with disabilities, sport, culture, documentation, etc.
In addition, from September until November each year, the Université de Lyon provides a Students Welcome Desk in Lyon and Saint-Étienne so all international students can get off to a good start.
Focus
The Université de Lyon, in partnership with other higher education institutions, is committed to providing students from all campuses at the Lyon Saint-Étienne site with comprehensive health services adapted to their needs. The two-fold objective of this students' health web portal is to: improve access to healthcare; promote prevention policies.
