Publié le 19 juin 2025 - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)
Are you a senior student and want to continue your studies in higher education in the 2025 academic year? Apply for a bursary, help with housing, reimbursement of your health expenses or even meals at reduced prices: read about your rights and get information on the various steps to take. The Ministry of Higher Education and Research gathers free online information you need from the beginning of your student life.
A new version of the guide On your way to student life! was published on 16 May 2025 on the website of the Ministry of Higher Education and Research. This booklet is intended primarily for students who are completing their high school years; it informs them of the rights and procedures related to student life. You can find a lot of information about for example:
- access to the stock exchange on social criteria and to other financial assistance ;
- the student accommodation ;
- student involvement (voluntary activity within an association, civic service engagement, voluntary work, etc.);
- sports and cultural activities;
- the role of the Crous (student catering, campus life, etc.);
- the possibility of finding a job, compatible with your study time;
- covering the cost of your medical consultations;
- etc.
The guide On the way to student life! is available free of charge on the website of the Ministry of Higher Education and Research; for each topic, it links directly to sites where you can get more information or start a process.
