The Student’s Office (« Bureau des
Elèves », BDE) is managed by 10 student representatives,
elected once a year after a hearty week of campaigning. The Office’s
activities include organising parties, financing students’ clubs
and providing accomodation assistance.
Membership fees are about 45€ per year. Members receive photocopying
cards, enabling free use of the machines.
Applications are received at the BDE (open during mornings, midday and
afternoon breaks), on the ground floor of the Vicat wing.
The BDE’s role includes:
- Managing the various clubs (Music, Graphic Arts, Computer Science,
etc.). Every student should find activities corresponding to his/her
interests among the thirty existing clubs.
- Organising trips and excursions;
- Establishing contacts between professional firms and students;
- Facilitating the daily life of students: photocopying cards, reduced
rates for newspapers and magazines, theatre tickets, offers of internships
by firms etc.
Each year, the Forum team joins with other engineering institutes in
Paris (Ecole des Mines,ENSAE and ENSTA) to organise the Forum Trium. This is
the leading event for employment in France, enabling students and firms
to meet over two full days. |
