Stendhal University (French:Université Stendhal, also known asGrenoble III) was auniversity located in the outskirts ofGrenoble,France that offered courses in foreign languages and cultures, ancient and modern literature, language and communication sciences.

Grenoble III University was founded in 1970, but its origins date back to theMiddle Ages and theUniversity of Grenoble. In 1968,Edgar Faure created theÉtablissement public à caractère scientifique, culturel et professionnel (EPCSCP), endowed with considerable autonomy. Departments were eliminated and replaced by Teaching and Research Units (UER), which later became Training and Research Units (UFR). The founding charter of Grenoble University III, Stendhal, and its three native Grenoble counterparts (Grenoble I, Grenoble II and Grenoble-INP) was signed in 1970.
From its early days, Grenoble III opened itself to new fields and helped create emerging language sciences, as well as Communication and Applied Foreign Languages (LEA). It took multiple steps to diversify fields of study while combining non-specialized fields and those of vocational study:
In 2016, it merged with two other universities to form theUniversité Grenoble Alpes, a restoration of the original University of Grenoble.
