Life beyond the lecture hall
Student government, clubs, sport, culture and the friendships that outlast your degree: this is everything that makes UNIABIDJAN feel like home.
Go deeper
Three pages with the detail: a tour of campus, how students govern themselves, and the clubs you can join or start.
Term brings Cultural Week, Fashion Week and Innovation Week, Pink October and Blue November, a sport competition, movie nights, excursions and a collective iftar, most of it organised by students.

A football team and a handball team, with chess and table tennis for quieter afternoons.
