Clubs and associations

Taking part in the School's clubs and associations adds a great deal to an engineering student's development. Through its many clubs, sports activities, evening entertainments and great events throughout the year, student life at Polytech'Lille helps to create a convivial atmosphere within the School.

Some of the clubs:

The "Bureau des Sports" – Sports Committee (BDS)

All Polytech' students may practise a large number of sports in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. There are many major sporting events during the year, such as the "Inter-Polytech'", the "Inter-Agros" and other tournaments such as the "Cinq Ballons", "Interpromo", etc...
Each sport has its club: Football, Handball, Basketball, Rugby, Sailing, Volleyball, Martial Arts, Golf, Tennis, Table Tennis, Swimming, Street Hockey...

Junior Enterprise (JE) : Polytech'Horizon

Taking part in a "Junior Enterprise" is very instructive in getting to know and understand the world of business. It enables students to carry out projects for companies (prospecting, project monitoring, communication, administration and finance,...). The possible types of project may concern computer science (e.g. Websites, networks, WI-FI), industry (e.g. designing robots...), the commercial sector (e.g. marketing...).
