The Universities of Technology (French: "Universités de Technologie") are public institutions awarding degrees and diplomas that are accredited by the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research. Although called "universities", the universities of technology are in fact non-university institutes ("écoles extérieures aux universités"), as defined by Chapter I, Section II (Articles 34 through 36) of French law 84-52 of 26 January 1984 regarding higher education (the "loi Savary").
They possess the advantage of combining all the assets of the engineering Grandes Ecoles and those of universities as they develop simultaneously and coherently three missions:
* Education
* Research
* Transfer of technology
They maintain close links with the industrial world both on national and international levels and they are reputed for their ability to innovate, adapt and provide an education that matches the ever changing demands of industryFact|date=January 2008.
This network includes three institutions:
* The University of Technology of Belfort-Montbéliard ("Université de Technologie de Belfort-Montbéliard" or UTBM)
* The University of Technology of Compiègne ("Université de Technologie de Compiègne" or UTC)
* The University of Technology of Troyes ("Université de Technologie de Troyes" or UTT)
