Professor Abdelhakim Artiba, President of the University, has federated since 2016 the entire university community around a unique project in France, that of a Polytechnic University by relying on the multidisciplinary nature of the institution (excluding health).

The cross-fertilization between the humanities and science and technology, cemented by research and innovation, will provide valuable opportunities for students.
