SUAPS – The Université Paris-Dauphine Athletics  & Recreation Department

Our mission is to allow a vast majority of students, faculty and staff to engage in athletic activities. 

We encourage students, faculty and staff to:

• practice at least one, and ideally several, sports for pleasure
• engage in one club or competition sport
• take one or two athletic courses for credit (all students whatever their degree program can earn course credits for qualifying athletics classes).

Sports is an essential ingredient for university life, it:

• helps to develop one’s physical potential, maintaining and improving fitness
• a source of equilibrium – it helps you manage stress and stay healthy
• encourages community spirit and teamwork, facilitates integration and gives students the opportunity to participate in the university sports movement as responsible citizens
