Gustave Eiffel University (French: Université Gustave Eiffel) is a public university located throughout Metropolitan France.

The university's namesake is French engineer, Gustave Eiffel.

Gustave Eiffel University is known for its civil engineering and urban planning research.[3]

History

Gustave Eiffel University was created by a French government decree,[4] and was founded on 1 January 2020.[5][6][4][7][8][9][10] It is the result of a merger of the École d'Architecture Marne-la-Vallée, the École des ingénieurs de la Ville de Paris, the École Nationale des Sciences Géographiques, the École Supérieure d'Ingénieurs en Électrotechnique et Électronique Paris, the French Institute of Science and Technology for Transport, Development and Networks, and the former University of Paris-Est Marne-la-Vallée.[11] The merger was decided upon despite initial opposition[12][13] of unions representing UPEM workers.

Academics

Gustave Eiffel University offers bachelors, vocational bachelors, and masters degrees in many fields ranging from arts and humanities to STEM.[3] The university also offers architecture, BTS, engineering diplomas.[14]

The university conducts significant research in relation to civil engineering, geomatics, infrastructure, transport systems, and urban planning.[3]

International students comprise more than 10% of the student body.[15]
