Student Experience & Integration

A Unique Experience

Clermont School of Business is dedicated to creating a rich and varied student experience, offering unforgettable moments that will leave a lasting impact on everyone’s life.

Through festive events, sports activities, and moments of sharing and celebration, everything is done to ensure that students feel fully integrated and fulfilled.

A Student Life filled with festive and solemn events

Every year, student associations organize events that have become essential traditions, such as the Christmas Gala. This elegant evening brings together students, professors, and staff around a festive meal with music and dancing, to celebrate the end of the year beautifully.

Where there are studies, there are diplomas!

The school pays special attention to the organization of its graduation ceremonies. This solemn and emotional moment allows each student to celebrate their academic success in the presence of their loved ones and fellow graduates.

Associative Life & Sports

Students at Clermont School of Business are always encouraged to get involved in associative life to gain experience, maturity, and autonomy outside of classes. The associations cover a full range of activities (meetings, sports or cultural events, parties, humanitarian missions), offering something for everyone’s tastes!

The Sports Office (BDS) energizes the school’s sports life each year by organizing dynamic extracurricular and sports activities such as:

• Creating sports teams: football, volleyball, handball, rugby, and basketball, etc.
• Organizing sports tournaments in partnership with other schools. In this regard, we are regularly ranked in regional and national championships each year in various team sports (French football championship, regional rugby championship, Auvergne champion and French vice-champion in basketball…)
• Themed parties and events such as the must-attend Sémineige, a weekend trip to a ski resort for students.

Clermont School of Business welcomes international students with care

Leaving one’s daily life to study in France can be a challenge! Clermont School of Business has implemented several initiatives to facilitate the integration of international students:

• Mentorship Program by Student Ambassadors:
  International students already enrolled at the School play a crucial role in supporting new arrivals, especially at the beginning of the academic year. These ambassadors often come from the same geographical area as the new students and are present to provide moral and practical support during their first weeks at the school and in Clermont-Ferrand.

• Collaboration with the ESN – Worltop Association:
  Clermont School of Business also collaborates with the ESN – Worldtop association. Through various activities and events, ESN – Worldtop facilitates the social and cultural integration of international students, offering them the opportunity to meet other students and even local families in Clermont-Ferrand.

• Support from the ISC Association:
  The student association ISC also plays an essential role in supporting international students. From the beginning of the academic year, ISC offers personalized assistance for administrative procedures (registration, obtaining official documents, or finding accommodation), an often complex aspect for new arrivals.

• Special Afterwork for international students:
  At the beginning of the year, a friendly event is organized within the School to facilitate the meeting between French and international students, promoting successful integratio

Welcome to Clermont-Ferrand

The city of Clermont-Ferrand places great importance on welcoming international students and invites them to participate in events specially designed for them to facilitate their integration and adaptation to life in France.

• Welcome at City Hall during the Night of World Students:
  Each year, during the “Clermont Fête ses Étudiants” event, international students are invited to an evening reception at City Hall, offering a unique opportunity to meet other students and discover the city. On the same theme, university restaurants offer “flavors of the world” meals at noon on the same day.
