Culture

Many student associations, cultural spaces, works of art, festivals, concerts, exhibitions and shows all year round offer students countless opportunities to explore and enjoy culture. Université Grenoble Alpes counts amongst the key cultural actors of the region.

Infrastructures

Campus des arts
For any new building on a public property, 1% of the construction budget is set apart for art. It is known in France as the “1% artistique”. Thanks to this measure, all UGA campuses boast an incredible selection of artwork.
Grenoble orchestra
Created in 2002 with the support of UGA, the orchestra is composed of students and staff who want to play symphonic music in parallel with their academic activities.
Grenoble choir
The choirs are composed mostly of students, alumni and university staff, with about two thirds of total singers being first-time members for each academic year. Specific care is taken to ensure that foreign students are welcome.
