The Nîmes University Hospital, in partnership with MUSE, is organizing Innov’Action Day! Open to all staff members at the hospital, as well as our students in Nîmes, this event will provide an opportunity to learn about the health innovation sector. Structured around several workshops, participants will be able to learn the basics of starting a business! Check out the day’s program in this article!
What's on
Detailed workshop schedule
Dear students, every year, health sciences students admitted to the medical program are assigned to either the Montpellier or Nîmes teaching sites. This year, the assignment will take place on July 16 at 9:00 a.m.
Due to recent developments, the terms of this allocation have changed. Please refer to the article below, updated on July 15, 2021, at 8:00 a.m.
For students who have chosen to study medicine
You are currently enrolled in the PASS or LAS program and have expressed an interest in continuing your studies in the medical track in DFGSM 2 for the 2021–2022 academic year, provided you pass the MMOP selection committee.
Under this program, admitted students are assigned to either the Montpellier or Nîmes campuses of the Montpellier-Nîmes Faculty of Medicine.
The following are hereby summoned:
PLEASE NOTE: Candidates admitted to the second round of exams WILL NOT be notified.
Practical Information
The University of Marseille (UM), the Faculty of Medicine, and student organizations are joining the fight against period poverty on campus through a solidarity initiative calledRelaX, so that every female student can experience her period with dignity.
According to a recent study published in February 2021, 33% of female students report facing financial difficulties in obtaining menstrual products. These difficulties affect the physical, mental, and social well-being of those in the most vulnerable situations.
The University of Montpellier is committed to this cause, particularly on the campus of the Montpellier Faculty of Medicine. You can find these bags on the Nîmes campus, located in the restrooms on the ground floor of Building A and in those of Building B next to the cafeteria, on the Arnaud de Villeneuve campus in the student organization offices, and finally in the restrooms on the first floor of the UPM. Anyone can contribute with a simple and discreet gesture by donating sanitary products in their original packaging.
This bag will allow students to drop off or pick up sanitary products on a self-service basis.
Due to the current health situation, the implementation of the Ministry of Higher Education’s directive requires that classroom capacity be reduced by 50% at the Montpellier campus. Read more in this article.
Update as of October 23, 2020: Like the Montpellier site, the Nîmes site has just been placed under a heightened alert.
The measures are therefore being extended to the Nîmes site. See the relevant paragraphs below.
Lectures
Lectures are held in person, with the number of students in attendance limited and the maximum capacity of 50% of seats occupied strictly enforced.
PASS / PACES
Specific Provisions for PASS / PACES in Montpellier
PASS: Lectures will be held in person, with attendance limited to 50% of the room’s capacity, with every other seat left empty. The lectures will be available on Moodle later today.
PACES: Lectures are already available online.
Specific Provisions for PASS / PACES in Nîmes
PASS: Two lecture halls are available at the ADV campus and one at the Flahault campus; students who cannot find seats will have access to the lectures on Moodle. Access to the lecture hall will be restricted once all seats are taken.
PACES: Lectures are already available online.
Undergraduate program
Specific provisions for the undergraduate program in Montpellier
A survey will be conducted the day before class to determine whether you will attend in person. Other students will be able to follow the class via Zoom or Moodle after it has been recorded, if possible.
Specific provisions for the undergraduate program in Nîmes
Lectures are held in person, with a maximum of 50% of the room’s capacity and with every other seat left empty.
Students who are unable to secure a spot will have access to the courses on Moodle.
Graduate level
Specific provisions for the graduate program in Montpellier
Lectures will be held in person with limits on the number of students present (100 per lecture hall or 25 per classroom for the ADV Health Campus, and 50% capacity for UPM classrooms and lecture halls). We are therefore offering a hybrid attendance model. You will receive specific information regarding your course unit (UE) or module (MI) from the program administrators or university offices. Students who are unable to attend classes in person will have access to recordings made available as soon as possible for DFASM1 and DFASM2 cohorts. For UE1 and UE10 of DFASM3, a Zoom link will be sent to you.
For students currently enrolled in the MIC program, there are no changes to the schedule.
Specific provisions for the master's program in Nîmes
Lectures are held in person, with a maximum of 50% of the room’s capacity, with every other seat left empty.
Students who are unable to secure a spot will have access to the courses on Moodle.
For the "best-of" events, large-capacity venues or auditoriums will be used to accommodate in-person attendance with attendance tracking.

Provisions Regarding the Midwifery Program in Montpellier
When it is not possible to accommodate the entire class due to capacity limits of 50%, classes will be conducted as follows:
– Odd-numbered weeks: Group 1 in-person + Group 2 online
– Even-numbered weeks: Group 1 online + Group 2 in-person
Teachers will therefore need to organize their classes accordingly—that is, in a hybrid format, with half the class attending in person and the other half participating remotely via Zoom.
As a reminder, Group 1 corresponds to the first half of the alphabetical list of students, and Group 2 corresponds to the second half. (You will receive the list for your class, specifying the groups, from your academic advisor shortly.)
In any case, it will be necessary to maintain the social distancing required by this new setup.
Tutorials
After-school programs will be held in the after-school program rooms, with no more than 50% of seats occupied.

Earlier, we met with AMEO. Today, we’re heading to Nîmes and even further afield with the Crocos du Monde association!
In a nutshell, what is the Crocos du Monde association?
Founded in 2007, “Crocos du monde” is the student humanitarian association of the Faculty of Medicine in Nîmes. Its goal is to enable medical and midwifery students to get involved in humanitarian work, each in their own way, and to raise awareness of global inequalities. The main objective is to organize an international solidarity project carried out each year. Since the association’s founding, the Crocos have already traveled to Morocco, Burkina Faso, and even Togo last summer!
What activities do you organize throughout the year? Could you tell us about them?
Throughout the year, we hold two major events: fundraisers for our international solidarity project and, starting this year, our local project in Nîmes, which has enabled us to launch social initiatives throughout our city.
To help fund our trip, we’ve been organizing events at our university since the beginning of the year. We’ve already held several bake sales. Over the holidays, we raised money by selling wrapping paper and chocolates.
At the same time, the Nîmes project is structured around several initiatives, most of which are carried out in partnership with the French Red Cross in the Gard department, particularly for outreach patrols and visits to nursing homes.
Why did you join the organization as an individual member? What does your organization offer students?
I’ve always been interested in humanitarian work, and this organization has given me the opportunity to get involved through a variety of local initiatives that balance our academic commitments with the limited time we can devote to volunteer work.
This allowed me to become aware of the various needs around me and take action to address them, whether directly in Nîmes or through fundraising and organizing the annual international solidarity trip.
Why and how do I join Crocos du Monde?
Our organization offers opportunities to get involved in social, community-oriented, and environmental initiatives. This allows you to make a meaningful contribution while staying true to your values. Additionally, it complements your studies by fostering social connections and engaging with underprivileged individuals.
You can join in September, after the fall general meeting, and then at any time throughout the year. Simply fill out a membership form and pay a membership fee of 10 euros by check or cash, and you will officially become a member of Crocos du Monde. The association is open to all students at the University of Nîmes (PACES/PASS, medicine, midwifery).
A few words about the 2020–2021 board?
The election of our executive committee takes place in two parts:
- First, an executive committee (EC) was elected. Following an online campaign period, the vote took place in early June. Due to the current health situation, the handover ceremony will be held in person at the start of the new school year.
- Then, in late September, second-year students (in medicine or midwifery) will be eligible to run for office. After a short campaign, the Student Council will select its executive board based on the number of candidates per position.
