Work-Integrated Learning: The Cornerstone of French Engineering Education
UTSEUS was co-founded in 2005 by Shanghai University and the French University of Technology Group (UTs). As a pioneer in Sino-European cooperative education, the institute integrates the French "Grandes Écoles" elite engineering education philosophy with the Chinese modern university system. We aim to cultivate high-end engineering talents with a global perspective, cross-cultural communication skills, and exceptional practical engineering capabilities.            

At UTSEUS, students benefit from a educational model rooted in the French engineering tradition, where academic excellence and hands-on experience go hand in hand. As an integral part of their curriculum, our students complete a minimum of 20 weeks of full-time internships in companies, where they apply their technical knowledge and skills—alongside their communication and teamwork abilities—in real-world professional settings.
