Is there a fee to join student associations?

No, students do not have to pay extra to be part of an association.
On the other hand, there might be a fee to attend certain events organised by the associations (concerts, conferences, specific actions on or off campus...).

Can you participate in student associations as a Bachelor's student?

Yes, BiM students participate fully in the life of the school, notably through the activities of the Student Life Office (BVE), the Student Office, the Sports Office or one of the 26 associations of Rennes SB.

The Student Life Office (BVE)

This is the association of the Bachelor programme. It organises all the events for students of the Bachelor programme, along with integration day and admissions days for the entrance exams. The main mission of the BVE is to optimise student life within the Bachelor programme, in part through the organisation of inter-promo or inter-programme activities so that the students of Rennes School of Business develop a stronger cohesion from year to year.

The Sports Office (BDS)

The BDS association manages the daily sports activities in the School:

• The TIME, 14 weekly sports training sessions,
• The Tournoi du Grand Ouest (TGO).

Students of the Bachelor programme have access to the training sessions and the sports rooms. All they need to do is submit a medical certificate on RISE that is less than one year old (obtained from your general doctor). Once the certificate has been submitted, students are free to come to all the sports on offer. They can of course come to the BDS office for more information on coaches or training locations!

The TEAM CHALLENGE

Originally launched in September 2019, the ECRICOME Challenge is the 3rd largest student sports event. This sports competition pits the 4 major business schools in the ECRICOME test bank against each other: Kedge Business School (Marseille and Bordeaux campuses), Néoma Business School (Reims and Rouen campuses), Rennes School of Business and EM Strasbourg.
Over 3 days, the 4  schools compete in 7 different sports: football, handball, rugby, tennis, volleyball, basketball and athletics. But this competition also takes place on the sidelines with about 200 supporters per delegation, all enthusiastically supporting their team!
Nearly 2000 students are present at the gathering; whether they are sportsmen, supporters or cheerleaders, they have only one objective: to win the three trophies put at stake each year:

• the Sports Trophy,
• the Ambiance trophy,
• the Fair Play trophy.
  

More than just a sporting competition, the Ecricome Challenge is a state of mind: Solidarity, Cohesion, Effort and Commitment are the keywords of this event. The TEAM Challenge is open to students from all PGE, Bachelor, MSC and international programmes.
