Student life

At the University of Panthéon-Assas, we place high priority not only on the intellectual excellence and harmony of our students, but also on their personal and physical well-being.  The university encourages, sponsors, and organizes a full array of pedagogical, professional, athletic and cultural activities from conferences and symposiums, debates and discussions, to moot courts and awards ceremonies, sporting events and celebrations...events follow, one after the other, as a kind of perpetual testimony to the richness of university life and the exchange that it encourages. What is more, by the sheer diversity, spirit, and vitality of the student associations within our walls, this reservoir of recreational initiatives is continually enriched and replenished.

Accompaniment, day by day

Through a variety of financial, technical, and human resources mobilized especially to accompany them along their academic path, students are not only guided in course and program selection but are also aided in the event of difficulty.

The University of Panthéon-Assas  provides open, online access to its digital services, simplifying the very administrative processes that make the university experience possible and assure its smooth progression.

Point info centre AssasAt certain centers, such as Vaugirard 1, Assas, Panthéon, and Melun, Points Info diffuse information in continuum, issue copies of grade transcripts, certificates, class and exam schedules, while providing, at the same time, information specific to each diploma as well as assistance in accessing our distance teaching, WIFI, and electronic messaging systems.

Any question concerning careers, exam preparation, university exchanges, job opportunities, training sessions, employment prospects, or eventual professional integration will surely find its answer at the CIO (Conseil - Insertion - Orientation).

Those students in need of advice on anything from nutrition to contraception, those wishing to consult a social worker, doctor, psychologist, or obtain a medical certificate, can depend upon a solid support team within university walls: the infirmary, our social services, as well as preventative medicine.


Ever-attentive to the necessities, sometimes complexities, of student life, the university has gathered and placed practical information at students' fingertips, information covering everything from grants, financial aid and lodging, to the wide spectrum of cultural, artistic, and culinary events awaiting them in Paris... a sure way to discover the attributes of our famous city of lights.  Shows, museums, concerts and other historical/cultural highlights are within reach, not only by their proximity, but also because of the preferential fees accorded to student cardholders.

A diversified program


Dedicated to broadening both personal and intellectual horizons, the university parallels its wide choice of academic offerings with an equally impressive range of extra-curricular activities; students can practise sports, explore languages, or, through hands-on remedial workshops, confront the professional world that awaits them.Course à pied

The Sports Service proposes over sixty athletic activities (among them rowing, boxing, fencing, soccer, swimming, rugby, yoga...), as well as specialized training.  Spread over 200 time slots, from 8:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m. on Monday through Friday, these opportunities are accessible at beginning, intermediate, and competition levels.

As well as enabling students to master a second or third specialized language applied to law, economy, and management (English, German, Spanish, Russian, Italian, and French as a Foreign language), the language department (Le Pôle Langues) encompasses, and is complemented by, two structures: the Language Resource Center (CRL), located at Vaugirard 1, and the Language Laboratory of Melun, each giving students the means to study languages in perfect autonomy. (With resources in 10 languages at Vaugirard 1, for example, students can take their first footsteps in Japanese, perfect their Chinese, Arabic, or Portuguese, participate in weekly workshops animated by native speakers, prepare for language proficiency exams in their own rhythm...)

With a sharp professional focus, remedial workshops known as law Clinics put theory into practise as rapidly as possible and, by means of concrete cases, confront law students with the realities of their soon-to-be profession.  This innovation specifically addresses young volunteers, future lawyers or magistrates, and all those enrolled in the Masters of Law 1 program eager to optimise their educational experience, take advantage of an original incentive, and earn supplementary points (3 maximum).

Student associations


At the origin of fifty or more associations, are students willing to take on all issues (academics, sports, music, societal debates, acts of solidarity), defending their opinions and predilections, affirming their centers of interest, promoting their university.  They create spaces of mutual help and conviviality as constructive as they are formative, where, even in the air of festivity, their core values of democracy, citizenship, justice, and creativity hold firm.

For those wanting to create an association, to post its messages, or even to organize a one-time event, the Cultural Service is there to help, assisting with the modalities or eventually attributing financial aid through the FSDIE (Fonds de solidarité et de développement des initiatives étudiantes).

These associations are opened to all those willing to invest actively in their university, to take part in its rich and varied campus life !
