Student commitment (citizenship program)

In line with the University of Montpellier's charter on the recognition of student commitment (Consult the charter) , the Faculty of Science recognizes and values the skills of students who commit themselves to a civic course, particularly when this commitment corresponds to values we consider essential: humanitarianism, health, educational actions, solidarity, student life, university sports, etc.

This commitment must be significant, i.e. it must correspond to more than 100 hours of work during the academic year. It can take the form of university1 or extra-university associations, organizations (civic service, fire department, etc.), component or university councils, etc. It can also be recognized for activities carried out abroad or as part of a gap year.

- Students must submit an application by mid-October for S1 and mid-December for S2.

- The jury for the year of study concerned will decide on the validation of these skills: 4 ECTS, corresponding to a minimum commitment of 100 hours.

The SAD (Supplément au Diplôme - Diploma Supplement) includes an acknowledgement of student commitment.
