University Libraries

The Bibliothèque Universitaire or “BU” (University Library) gives you access to a whole collection on all disciplinary domains. It is located in the “Médiathèque Publique et Universitaire” (Multimedia Library) and networked with the other documentation centers in each university pole of Valence. After registering at the reception desk, you can use your "reader card" and borrow books regularly from any of the university libraries. Electronic resources are also available on computer workstations.

Community Life

The “Cercle”:

Each engineering school in France has a student union (Bureau des Etudiants, BDE). Here in Valence, the “Cercle” is responsible for the community life of the school. The “Cercle” also handles social events and parties, and your integration with people of the school. For more information and news on events to come, see the website: www.esisariens.org.

Inter’Val (International Student Association of Valence):

Helps you upon arrival with the help of a Drôme-Ardèche Student as “godfather”: administrative issues, discovery of the city, important places such as pharmacies, bakeries, hospitals, ... everything worth knowing to ensure you have a good stay. The association also organizes different kinds of parties and events all along the year.
