Campuses

edit

The university was officially founded in 1979 from several colleges founded in the 1960s and 1970s. To avoid a straight choice between the two biggest towns of the Savoie/Haute-Savoie departments, the authorities decided to set up a campus in each city for different areas of study. The university has three campuses:

  • The Annecy campus is the university's "technology institute" (IUT), and teaches engineering-related subjects and business and administration related subjects. Here is located the faculty of economics and management (IMUS, Institut de Management de l'Université de Savoie).
  • Jacob-Bellecombette (1.5 km south of Chambéry) is the campus for students of languages, literature, social sciences, law and economics. It has a library, sports hall and one cafeteria.
  • The Technolac campus at Bourget-du-Lac (12 km north of Chambéry) teaches science.

In addition, the university's presidence and administrative buildings are located in Chambéry.

History

edit
 
Head office in Chambéry
  • Between 1295 and 1563, Chambéry was the capital of Savoy. The University of Turin was founded in 1404, and Chambéry was the home of an école préparatoire, a school preparing students to go there. But there was no university in Chambéry in this period, and Turin took over from Chambéry as Savoy's capital in 1563.
  • The annexation of Savoy by France after the unification of Italy meant that Chambéry had an académie between 1860 and 1920, but not a university.
  • During the movement creating new universities in the 1960s, a Savoy Collège Scientifique Universitaire (CSU) was created, then a Collège Littéraire Universitaire (CLU) in 1963. These colleges were merged, creating the Centre Universitaire de Savoie (CUS), at Chambéry, on 9 May 1969. In 1973, Annecy's technical and business college, the Institut Universitaire Technologique (IUT), was founded, and from 27 June 1979, the CUS was officially classed as a university. It was later renamed the Université de Savoie and then in May 2014 Université Savoie Mont Blanc [1]
