The Student Union
The BLOC
THE BLOC is the name given to the Student Union (Bureau des Elèves) for ESTP engineering students. Regulated by the French law of 1901 relating to associations, the BLOC can trace its history back to World War II when ESTP students united as a block against the occupying forces. It is manned by a team of approximately 25 students and is familiar to both students (90% of new students use it) and corporate partners.
Its role
As a focal point for 50 humanitarian, cultural, artistic, sporting and career-focused societies, the BLOC’s main aim is to:
- Coordinate societies
- Answer student enquiries
- Liaise between students, school management and industry
- Organise BLOC Days and ESTP Forums - invaluable opportunities for students and industry to come together
- Organise the annual Gala event and the school’s various functions
- Forge a permanent link between year groups and alumnus societies which have 45,000 graduate members, 30,000 of whom are still active professionally
- Represent ESTP: in the press, at conferences
