The University Institute of Technology
The Nîmes University Institute of Technology (IUT), part of the University of Montpellier, offers technology and vocational training programs tailored to local and regional needs. Our goal is to equip students—most of whom have earned general or technology-oriented high school diplomas—with the scientific and technological skills necessary for career advancement within companies.
Technology is at the very heart of our programs and training courses, ensuring that future professionals are ready to enter the workforce quickly. The degrees and support we offer lead to very strong employability. However, the training students receive is increasingly leading them to pursue further education, with a high success rate over the past 10 years.
The national survey conducted 30 months after graduation shows that 81% of graduates are employed, 90% have continued their studies, and 70% are pursuing long-term studies.
In collaboration with the local education authority and businesses, our goal is to train an increasing number of mid-level managers through technical training in the secondary and tertiary sectors.
The 5-hectare campus accommodates 1,200 students in27,000 square meters offacilities, including four large technology testing halls.
