TheUniversity of Technology of Troyes[7] (Université de Technologie de Troyes;UTT) is a French university,[8] in the academy ofReims. The UTT is part of the network of the threeuniversities of technology, found by theUniversity of Technology of Compiègne. Inspired by the AmericanUniversity of Pennsylvania inPhiladelphia, these three universities (UTC,UTBM and UTT) are a French mixture between the universities of this country and its schools of engineers (Grandes Ecoles). UTT is ranked in the top 10 engineering schools 2017 in France by Usine Nouvelle.[9]
They are indeed organized like the universities, temples of knowledge being based on the triptych teaching-research-valorization (transmission of knowledge, the creation of knowledge and the transfer of knowledge in economic fabric). Their teaching model is a mix between the North-American model and the French traditions: courses choice, separation of the courses, work directed (TDs) and practical work (TPs). These three universities give thus an engineering degree equivalent to theBac+5 formations of the FrenchGrandes Ecoles.
The UTT was founded in 1994 and inaugurated byJacques Chirac. One of the first chairman of the university has beenThierry Breton (1997–2005), honorary Chairman of bothThomson andFrance Telecom, and former finance Minister from France.
