Student Life

Student life : Give rein to your enthusiasm

Involvement in the school’s many student associations is an essential part of student life, which EIGSI fully supports. It also offers an opportunity for our students to reveal the many talents they possess in all sorts of fields...

The Bureau d’Etudiants (BDE) is the student body responsible for all student activities at EIGSI, and coordinates the activities of all the sporting associations and clubs. Its members are elected each year.

  •  Sports

Through a partnership with the University of La Rochelle, EIGSI students enjoy access to all the university’s sports facilities and to the wide range of organised sports on offer. The EIGSI Association Sportive provides the necessary equipment and organises tournaments, matches, etc…

  • Culture

Music, photography, cinema - a wide range of cultural activities are open to EIGSI students. Japanime, for instance is a club for student fans of Japanese mangas and video games.

  •  Humanitarian and citizenship issues

Student members of Start-EIGSI set up projects involving young people from deprived areas. The Etudiants pour un Développement Durable put their skills to work on sustainable development projects on behalf of humanitarian NGOs, such as a methane production centre in Tanzania, solar ovens in Haiti or cybercafés in Burkina Faso – all splendid examples of solidarity!
