Whether in full-time or work-study programs, students explore a wide range of fields: energy, construction, industry, digital technology, electronics, smart systems, agriculture, food, and the environment.
Here, everyone can test, refine, and develop their career plans, in direct connection with the realities of the professional world.
Receiving support every step of the way
At JUNIA, every student benefits from concrete support systems to help them progress, adapt, and build their career path: tutoring, academic support, individualized guidance, and preparation for entering the workforce. The goal is simple: to enable everyone to move forward at their own pace, without having to face challenges alone. Everything is designed to connect education with personal goals.

Community Life
With more than 100 student organizations, the campus offers opportunities for hands-on involvement.

These experiences help develop useful skills that complement your academic training.

More than 40 sports are offered: team sports (soccer, rugby, basketball, handball…), individual sports (tennis, rock climbing, track and field…), water sports (sailing, rowing, swimming…), and combat sports (judo, fencing…). Open to everyone, participating in sports helps students improve their skills, find balance, and become part of student life.
