The University of Lille III continues the long tradition of teaching the humanities in the area around Lille, which originates from the Université de Douai, established in 1559, and located 25 km away from the present modern campus.
Since 1970, science and technology have been taught at an independent campus of Université de Lille I - USTL, while the faculties of law, management, sports and health are part of the independent campus of Université de Lille II.
The club's goal is to connect Study Abroad students with native French students in order to ease their transition into Lille III and to create an opportunity of cross-cultural exchange.
[1] Through Association Ulysse, foreign students can sign up for a French partner who can act as a guide to the university and the city.
There is also Cafe Ulysse where students can gather, get food, and listen to music between classes.
