Welcome to MOMA!

Welcome to Montpellier Management! Whether you’re a new student or continuing your studies, here you’ll find practical information about student life and campus services.

Student Associations

Our student associations play a central role on campus and in student life, organizing many events throughout the year.

From a welcome beach volleyball tournament to the “Kitch Pétanque,” “MOMA Boyard,” and padel tournaments — there’s never a dull moment with MOMA SPORT CLUB! In addition to team-building and integration events, the association manages the men’s and women’s teams in football, basketball, volleyball, handball, and rugby, all competing in university championships.

The Bureau Associatif de Montpellier Management (BAMM) is behind all the festive student events. The ski week in January kicks off the calendar, followed by the annual Gala, usually held in the first quarter of the year. The association also organizes welcome parties and an integration weekend to help new students settle in.

MOMA CHEERS (Instagram: @moma.cheers)
MOMA CHEERS is the cheerleading team of the MOMA SPORT CLUB. Created in 2022 to diversify the sports offer and support MOMA teams, the group has grown significantly and now includes nearly 20 cheerleaders. They train weekly under the guidance of two co-captains. The team is open to everyone — girls and boys alike — all you need is a love for dancing and team spirit!
