COVID-19 update
Students and teachers can continue to follow and teach most of the scheduled classes on campus. We have set up measures that meet the requirements of the French government and apply within all of our buildings as well as on campus (face masks are compulsory and a limited number of students is allowed within the same room, in order to respect social distancing.
Although curfew has come into force in several large French cities, it is not the case in Annecy, and there are no travel restrictions.
Prospective students can contact the programme manager or the International Relations Office for further information.

Annecy University Institute of Technology, created in 1973, is one of the seven faculties of University Savoie Mont Blanc. Over time, it has developed to meet an increasing demand and allow its students to develop autonomy, technical skills, flexibility and team work capacities. Today, we are delighted to welcome some 2,800 students who can easily find internships and jobs in one of the numerous companies of the area, in neighbouring Switzerland or in the several laboratories on campus.
We have relied on local industries as well as on our attractive natural environment to create several English-taught programmes in the fields of science, technology, commerce and sports.
The University Institute of Technology boasts an exceptional environment, at the foot of mountains and overlooking Lake Annecy. Bordering on both Italy and Switzerland, close to Germany, the Rhône-Alpes region is at the heart of Europe. You will fall for its lovely landscapes and enjoy hiking or cycling in the Alps or sunbathing by the lake. Adrenaline junkies will be offered many opportunities to indulge in skiing, paragliding, mountain biking and many more. The city of Annecy and its region are also home to many cultural events (cinema festivals, carnival …).
Annecy is easily accessible by car (motorways) and by train, and only 45 minutes away from Geneva international airport.
Life is a journey, an adventure… The world has whatever borders we give it, and today they are those of a global village. So embark on a new adventure, come and study in Annecy!
