The University’s Physical and Sports Activities Department - SUAPS aims to offer everyone the opportunity to do a sport of their choice.

Students at the University can choose from a range of sports classes — all run by specialist instructors — based on their preferences, physical ability and level. Students can sign up for two activities per semester if they like.

There is a wide range of activities on offer with something for every level: discovery, introduction, improvement and competitive.

• All physical and sports activities offered by SUAPS (in French)
• Updates from the service are available on their Facebook page: “SUAPS Université Paris 8”
