Student card
EDHEC
When you join EDHEC, you receive a student card. But what you may not know is that this student card can be useful outside the institution.
I Cinemas
Bring your student card when you go to see a movie, because you will benefit from a student price, which is more advantageous than the normal price. But that only works if you can present your card.
I fast food
Often when you go to eat at a McDonald's, Quick, Subway, etc., showing your student ID will get you discounts.
I museums
Some museums in France are free for those under 26 (you must present your passport or identity card, as well as your visa or residence permit if you do not live in the EU).
You will find more information here.
practice sports
at EDHEC
I Access to sports facilities
The EDHEC Sports Department manages the sports facilities. You have free access to the gymnasium, swimming pool, fitness, squash and dance rooms. To access these facilities, you still need to register. To do this, you must log in to myEDHEC.
Before any practice in the gym (swimming pool, dance, bodybuilding, dojo, multisports, and squash) the reservation of the time slot is compulsory onSports Booking through the app Sports @ EDHEC Lille.
​
I Sports lessons
Also, there are many sports classes that you can pay for individually in order to attend. Information on this subject will be given at the beginning of the semester.
​
I sports training
You also have free access to sports training (with a coach) and you can join a sports team (football, basketball, swimming team... and much more). To do this, you must pre-register for a sport on myEDHEC. Then you take the selection tests in your discipline.
If you are selected, you provide a medical certificate attesting that your state of health does not prevent you from participating in the sports competition. You download, approve and sign the Competitor's Charter (see "Documents to download"), then drop it off at the Union Sportif office. Finally, you receive a license from the French University Sports Federation issued by the sports department.
