UTT"s core missions are to conduct research, deliver education & training and facilitate technology transfer. UTT is a French institution of higher education established in 1994. It is today one of the largest engineering schools in France. Over 2,500 students are registered at the University, enrolled on undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral study programs. In the renowned yearly rankin...g of the French magazine “L’Etudiant”, UTT takes in 2011 an enviable 6th position among 65 French engineering schools.
The standard five-year engineering degree, which is accredited by France"s independent engineering degree accreditation body, CTI, can be tailored to each student"s individual career objectives as from the first year. UTT offers five engineering degrees, a master"s program with the choice of nine specializations, a PhD research program in five specialist areas, as well as work-integrated learning (WIL) modules which combine academic study with paid workplace learning (leading to either a vocational degree, an engineering degree or a master"s).
Research activities at UTT are conducted by eight teams within the Charles Delaunay Institute (ICD). The Institute pursues an interfaculty approach to the central theme underpinning all research efforts: risk management science and technology (RMST), one of the major challenges facing modern society.
UTT develops and maintains proactive relations with industry through joint research programs with businesses and long internships for its students. UTT is a member of the Carnot Institute Network (along with the Compiègne University of Technology) and actively encourages the creation of new businesses.
The University"s commitment to project-based management and analytical accounting, coupled with innovative human resources practices, allowed UTT to figure among France"s first "independent" institutions as of January 1, 2009, following the government"s University reform bill aimed at granting greater autonomy to universities to manage their budget and staff. The University has also established a partnership-based Foundation to support its efforts and long-term development.
UTT is part of the French network of universities of technology (UT) alongside Compiègne (UTC) and Belfort-Montbéliard (UTBM). This unique engineering degree model, fostered by scientific research and close interaction with the business community in France and beyond, has also been emulated in China. In 2005, the three French universities of technology set up the Shanghai Sino-European University of Technology (UTSEUS), which currently counts 1,000 Chinese and French students.
Sports play an important part of the students" life at the university. Sports are not compulsory, but their practice is strongly encouraged.
Students wishing to take part must subscribe to the sports union (22 Euros per semester).
There are more than 40 sporting activities on offer. For certain activities there may be a small surcharge.
UTT allows students to customize their engineering degrees according to their needs and interests, offering a wide range of options from undergraduate through doctoral study level. In addition, the University is developing a growing catalog of work-integrated learning (WIL) programs, involving vocational degrees, master"s degrees and certain aspects of the standard engineering degree program. An extensive range of continuing education courses is also available.
In addition to their chosen technical and scientific programs, all students follow more general courses in business studies and management and at least one foreign language. Students enrolled on the five-year engineering degree program are required to spend at least one semester abroad, either on a course of study or as an intern in industry. In today"s competitive workforce, this experience allows students to be well-prepared to work for international organizations.
UTT prides itself on being a truly international university that is open to the world and actively encourages cross-cultural exchange at all levels. The University has adopted a full-fledged international strategy anchored in academic agreements with world-class partner universities and participation in international research programs. UTT is also a member of the European University Association (EUA).
To give our graduates the edge in an increasingly competitive job market, we allow them to explore new cultures at every level of study, from first-year undergraduates to PhD students. All students enrolled on our five-year engineering programs are required to spend a mandatory period abroad.
UTT offers 16 international double degrees in partnership with universities abroad.
Student mobility is handled by the University"s dedicated International Relations Office. The Center provides information and support for UTT students preparing for their international period of study or internship as well as for international students wishing to enroll at UTT. To help them get the most out of their time at UTT, non-French speaking students receive intensive French language instruction when they first arrive, and they can also attend classes delivered in English.
24% of our students are international and more than 40 different nationalities are represented within the student body.
UTT prides itself on its close connections with industry. Partnerships have been forged with over 3,000 businesses, allowing the University to engage on focused joint research efforts and place its students on internships. These internships often lead to permanent job offers after graduation. For more information, go to Jobs and Careers.
Each year, the UTT Business Forum welcomes some forty companies to the Troyes Campus, allowing students to meet directly with potential employers.
Research partnerships are a top priority for UTT and, together with the Compiègne University of Technology, the University is an active member of the Carnot Institute Network of scientific research professionals set up to build and maintain partnerships with industry.
Reflecting its commitment to scientific collaboration and technology transfer, the University proactively supports business innovation and creation initiatives by local entrepreneurs in the Champagne-Ardenne region.
In addition, UTT offers a comprehensive catalog of continuing education courses for employers, allowing them to improve the skills of their workforce to meet the changing needs of industry and society.
The apprenticeship tax levied on local businesses helps UTT upgrade the educational facilities available to students. The number of companies which opt to pay this tax directly to the University is constantly increasing, reflecting its growing recognition within the business community.
