Médialab FLSH
The Medialab: The University’s radio and web TV
The Medialab assists students and teachers alike with their radio and video projects at the Université Catholique de Lille . Imagined by professors from Faculty of Arts and Humanities (FLSH), and professionals from the Histoire-Journalisme Master’s Degree, the Medialab was created as part of the “Horizon 2020” initiative back in 2013.
It’s an essential technological, educational and research tool for all study fields, be it media, communication, journalism, or even languages.
Today, the Medialab is the main tool for all radio and video projects for the university!

Medialab fields
The various fields
The MediaLab is organised into several centres corresponding to different areas of media production. These spaces are open not only to students but also to members of the public, enabling them to develop their audiovisual skills.
Radio UCLille is a digital radio station based at the heart of Université Catholique de Lille. For the past five years, its studios have served as venues for educational experiences and cultural expression. Radio UCLille is available at radiouclille.com, as well as on Android and iOS. Radio UCLille broadcasts news programmes, campus updates, educational content, and student, cultural and music programmes.
Thanks to its TV studio and editing suite, the MediaLab’s video department produces videos, programmes, clips and reports, which are broadcast on the MediaLab’s YouTube channel, on its Facebook page and/or on screens at our premises.
Many programmes are also created by the MediaLab but produced and broadcast by other organisations, schools, faculties, associations and/or companies.
The video unit also has 14 filming kits, which enable students to produce content independently as part of their course.
The MediaLab offers a range of non-qualifying courses aimed at communications professionals and anyone wishing to develop their skills in the media sector. These courses are designed to provide an introduction to video editing, to familiarise participants with camera operation, and to teach them how to produce a news report from start to finish.
These courses, held in small groups, take place over several days. They offer a learning experience that combines theory with practical, hands-on experience through participation in real-world projects. They enable participants to build on their skills, thereby adding value to their work within their organisations.
