General and Specialized Health Services 

Our services are specifically designed to address physical, emotional, and psychological situations that may hinder your academic success or wellbeing.

Targeted Medical and Psychological Care: Students have access to various specialized consultations with doctors by appointment, including general practice, psychiatry, nutrition, sport and health, sexual and reproductive health (gynaecology, contraception, sexology).

Our goal is to help students manage frequent issues like stress, psychological difficulties and the exhaustion cycle that may  lead to  academic impact. 

Preventative Focus: Peventative medicine includes priority health interviews for first-year students or newly arrived in France. This proactive approach aims to identify and mitigate risks early. Appointments are available throughout the academic year.

Mental Health Support: Pychological support is accessible through one on one consultations with a psychotherapist or a counselor (with or without appointment). Personalized follow-up are also available throughout the academic year.

Addressing issues like burnout and sleep imbalance is better done as soon as early signs show up.

  • Services from nurses, such as health counselling, orientation, emergency contraception, available without appointment.

  • Medical Consultations for course/exam accomodations: The mandatory process to secure  course/exam accommodations (Aménagements d'Études) requires a specific medical consultation once the interview wtith the disability advisor is completed ( at the Disability and Study department). Our team acknowledges  that the courses and pedagogical content accessibility may represent a significant challenge for somes students.
