Who we are
Institute of technology
IUT Saint-Etienne is part of Jean Monnet University
A good compromise between higher education and the professional world.
Technical courses with the right balance between general and vocational subjects:
- Lab work and seminars in small groups: 12 in workshop groups, 24 in seminars (More than 60% of teaching is in seminars)
- Work placements (10 weeks minimum) to help develop the autonomy and integration skills students need to join a company.
This work connection is also provided via classes taught by professionals from local companies. This ensures our curriculum keeps pace with the fast-evolving world of work.
Our teaching staff are also involved in a variety of administrative tasks and this enhances both their teaching and their management skills.
Maximum teaching contact time is the key to a high success rate of about 85% for students from both general and technical backgrounds.
Our seven departments, three covering the tertiary sector and four in secondary sector, offer a wide choice of courses complemented by a wide choice of vocational degrees.
