Université de Savoie

Université de Savoie, 27 rue Marcoz, BP 1104, 73011 Chambéry cedex, France
3.72 / 5 based on 90 reviews.
Description:
Bien que déjà mentionnée au Moyen-Age, la présence d'un enseignement supérieur en Savoie remonte véritablement au lendemain de la dernière guerre mondiale. C'est ainsi que, progressivement, furent institutionnalisées, par conventions avec les universités voisines, diverses formations littéraires, juridiques et scientifiques.
En 1960, création du Collège Scientifique Universitaire. En 1963, transformation en Collège Littéraire Universitaire. Ensuite, en 1970, l'établissement devint Centre Universitaire de savoie (Lettres, langues, Sciences Humaines - Sciences et des Techniques) rattaché aux facultés de Grenoble, avant de devenir enfin, le 27 juin 1979, une Université de plein exercice. Cependant, durant ces années de mutation, l'Université n'a cessé de se développer.
La création de l'IUT d'Annecy, en 1973, avec deux premiers départements (Génie Mécanique et Techniques de commercialisation), l'obtention de nouvelles habilitations de premier, second et troisième cycles, l'ouverture de l'Ecole d'Ingénieurs de Chambéry (ESIGEC) en 1988, et l'Ecole Supérieure d'Ingénieurs d'Annecy (ESIA) en 1992 (anciennement Faculté Annécienne des Sciences et des Techniques, créée en 1981) sont là pour en témoigner.
