Valenciennes, a city made for students
A dynamic and accessible environment

No packed public transport, no 45-minute trips just to buy a baguette—here, everything is just minutes away, and you can practically do everything on foot.
The city center is the ultimate student HQ. A coffee on the terrace after class? Check. A burger after a night out that went a little too late? Check. A park where you can chill and watch joggers while you just relax? Check.
No matter where you are—Anzin, Aulnoy, Mont Houy—you’re always in the game. Valenciennes is not too big, not too small, just perfect for making the most of student life without the chaos of a massive metropolis.
A city packed with events
Think Valenciennes is just about Monday-to-Friday classes? Think again. This city is always on the move. Festivals, concerts, student nights, outdoor cinemas… there’s always something new to try. And student events? They’re next level.
Campus Live is THE place to be to catch concerts and discover local talent. Campus Day is an inter-school sports tournament where you can compete, let off steam, and meet new people. More into culture? The Phénix is one of the largest national performing arts venues, offering amazing performances and concerts all year round.
And the best part? If you choose UXCO Student Lucien Jonas, you’ll be right next to everything. No transport issues, no fear of missing out—just 100% good times.

A wide range of study programs
If you think Valenciennes is a tiny town with just a couple of schools, think again. This place has a real student vibe, tons of young people (13,000 students, to be exact), and top-tier academic programs.
No matter what you study—science, business, engineering, gaming, design, animation—there’s a place for you here. The Polytechnic University of Hauts-de-France (formerly Université de Valenciennes) is a real stepping stone for your future.
But what really puts Valenciennes on the map is its specialized schools. Rubika, Supinfocom, ENSIAME—if you’re into game design, animation, or high-tech engineering, you’re in the right place.
A city where you’ll love to live (and eat!)
In Valenciennes, going out is easy. Everything is nearby, the city is buzzing, and there’s always a place to hang out after class. The city center is full of bars, cafés, pubs, coworking spaces—basically, you’ll never be bored.
If you’re a foodie, you must try the local friteries. Crispy fries and fricadelle are a tradition here. But if you’re more into trendy restaurants, Sunday brunch spots, or greasy street food, there’s always a great deal that won’t drain your bank account.
And because student life isn’t just about classes, student organizations bring the city to life with parties, competitions, inter-school challenges, trips, and charity projects. You won’t be stuck in your room—unless Netflix & Chill is your thing (and we totally respect that).
Chill spots to unwind after class
Sure, Valenciennes is fast-paced, but it also gives you plenty of space to breathe. If you need to relax and recharge, head to the banks of the Escaut River or the Parc de la Rhônelle. Go for a jog, study outdoors, or just lay back and watch the clouds.
Still full of energy? Head to Satellium (literally 6 minutes from Valenciennes). Billiards, 24 bowling lanes, a Virtual Game Aerosa—everything you need for an awesome afternoon with friends.
And if you’re itching for a weekend escape, Valenciennes is super well connected. In just a few hours by train or carpool, you can be in Lille, Brussels, Amsterdam, or even on the beaches of Northern France. A quick getaway always does the trick!
