There are 60 cultural and sport clubs or associations within UTC (music, photography, theatre, football, basketball, rowing, aerobics, etc.), some of which have expanded their network to other European countries.
Practicing sports or a physical activity is not compulsory, but is strongly encouraged. Approximately 75% of all students practice some kind of physical activity. Students who want to do competitive sports have to plan their class schedule to be free on Thursday afternoon which is the official half-day set aside for competitions.
