What are your chances?

Université de La Réunion is a public, multidisciplinary French university based on Réunion, an overseas department and region in the Indian Ocean. It became a full university in 1982 and operates across several sites, with its administrative center and largest academic concentration at the Moufia campus in Saint-Denis. Its teaching spans law, economics, humanities, sciences, technology, health, management, engineering, education, and human and environmental studies. The university awards national qualifications from licence through master and doctorate, alongside other French credentials. Its setting shapes both teaching and research, particularly work connected with tropical environments, biodiversity, health, societies, and territories of the Indian Ocean. Most degree study is conducted in French, so applicants should examine the language and entry requirements of their intended program carefully.

Student Life & Environment

Student services extend across the university’s dispersed campuses. The official student-life portal brings together sport, arts and culture, libraries, disability support, health and preventive medicine, digital services, housing and dining information, and student associations. The university’s health service provides confidential reception, care, emergency response, prevention, and health-promotion support. University libraries operate at several sites, while accessibility services can help eligible students obtain adapted documents and use accessible collections. Maisons des Étudiants provide student-managed places for meeting, independent work, information, and cultural or sporting activity at Moufia, Le Tampon, Terre-Sainte, Bellepierre, and the IAE site. The sports service organizes activities for students at different experience levels, and art and culture courses and workshops supplement extracurricular events. Students should check the current timetable and site for each activity because provision is distributed across the island. CROUS Réunion-Mayotte manages university residences and catering rather than the university itself. International students may request places at residences associated with Moufia, Terre-Sainte, or Le Tampon, but an application does not guarantee accommodation. Private housing may therefore be necessary. The available official international guide is dated 2024–2025, so its quoted dining prices should not be assumed to apply in 2026–2027.

Location & Surroundings

The database record correctly associates the university with Saint-Denis, where the Moufia campus houses the central administration and the faculties of law and economics, letters and humanities, and science and technology. Moufia also has a gymnasium, theater, student-life space, and dining facilities. Other parts of the university are located elsewhere, so Saint-Denis should not be understood as the location of every program. The Le Tampon campus in southern Réunion hosts human and environmental studies and associated services, while Terre-Sainte in Saint-Pierre accommodates health, IUT, and engineering activities. The university also identifies Bellepierre and the IAE site in central Saint-Denis among its locations. Applicants should confirm their program’s teaching site before choosing housing or planning a commute. Réunion is a French island in the Indian Ocean, east of Madagascar. Its distance from mainland France affects travel planning, while the multicampus arrangement can make daily transport an important practical issue. The university’s own 2026–2030 project notes structural challenges related to mobility, housing, infrastructure, and services across its separated sites, so students should assess transit and accommodation options early.

Costs & Career Outcomes

For 2026–2027, the university lists national registration fees of €178 for licence study and €255 for master study. It also states that the Contribution de vie étudiante et de campus is €105 for students who are liable for it. Scholarship recipients may still need a CVEC certificate even when exempt from payment. Fees for other credentials, special programs, and continuing education can differ and should be checked with the relevant program. Non-EU international students may be subject to differentiated registration fees. The university describes automatic exemptions for specified legal and reciprocal-agreement categories and a partial-exemption application that can reduce differentiated fees to the national rate, subject to eligibility and a statutory institutional limit. Applicants should not budget on receiving a discretionary exemption before formal confirmation. Housing, meals, transport, insurance, and travel to Réunion are additional costs. No current official university-wide housing price was verified for 2026–2027. Career preparation is supported by the university’s orientation, professional integration, and entrepreneurship service. Its work includes guidance and connections with employers; in April 2026 it organized a university-wide job-dating event offering short meetings with recruiters for student jobs, placements, and early work experience. Students should assess outcomes at program level, since the available sources do not provide a current, independently verified salary or placement figure for every degree. Regulated professions and doctoral careers also follow distinct pathways.
