At the University of Bordeaux, studying is obviously important, but there's an exciting campus life, too. Find out what's going on during the Back-to-University week of festivities, with creations prepared especially for you.

Moissons d'avril is THE festival that showcases student creations (in French) with a rich, eclectic programme (shows, concerts, performances, exhibitions, etc.).
To join the festival, submit your artistic project to the Cultural Department.

Because science is alive, creative and poetic, the University of Bordeaux provides a different way of looking at it, through the works resulting from artist residencies in Bordeaux campus research laboratories.

The aim of this festival is to explore and experiment with the different facets of the relationship between the arts and sciences, highlighting science in music, painting and sculpture, and bringing it to life on stage and off.

Curieuse visite invites you to tour the striking or unusual places on the University of Bordeaux campus sites.

Partnerships

Team up with regional stakeholders to bring all forms of artistic expression to life, on and off the university campus.

In partnership with the art library "Les Arts au Mur" (in French), contemporary art is on show in the university libraries. During key campus events, guides from the art library organise times to exchange and reflect on the exhibitions.

For each exhibition, students are invited to choose the theme of the works they would like to see displayed on the walls of the university libraries!

Dansitude is a project to raise awareness of contemporary dance, run by the University of Bordeaux cultural department, in the form of performances and workshops for the public, in partnership with La manufacture CDCN Nouvelle Aquitaine.

Tickets for performances are reserved for the university community: to benefit from them, sign up for the cultural newsletter. 

Les Campulsations, a festival held at the beginning of each academic year, is organised by the CROUS in partnership with the University of Bordeaux, regional authorities, cultural associations and organisations. Its aim is to diversify the cultural events offered to students in their everyday environment and to make them more aware of the cultural venues on campus and in the Bordeaux metropolitan area.
