UniLaSalle is a polytechnic institute that resulted from the merger of five engineering schools and the creation of a veterinary school. At the heart of the challenges of transition, it is designing a new generation of “Grandes Ecoles” that unite life, earth, environmental and energy sciences with industrial sciences and digital technologies.
Convinced that the solutions to human and global challenges can be found at the crossroads of the sciences, UniLaSalle draws its strength from its interdisciplinary approach and its wide range of courses, from bachelor's to doctoral degrees.
A member of the global network La Salle Universities, UniLaSalle has been pursuing its educational project for 170 years: to reveal the potential of each person. It is based on a relationship of trust, a rich student experience, founded on a pedagogy of the collective, inviting action for the common good.
Through its research at the service of companies, sectors and regions, and through its training programs, UniLaSalle is committed to building, together, a more humane, just and sustainable world. As proof of its commitment, the school has held the DD&RS label since 2020 at the group level, recognizing its commitments and actions in favor of ecological and societal transformation.

A Lasallian school
Founded in 1854 by the Brothers of the Christian Schools, whose action is driven by the educational precepts of John Baptist de La Salle, UniLaSalle belongs to one of the world's largest educational networks, the La Salle network.
Throughout the world, the network's 1,500 establishments, including 72 universities and colleges, share the same values of openness and humanism, advocating education for all.
They follow a unique pedagogical approach, based on personalized support for students, their involvement in the life of the school and the promotion of their sense of responsibility, particularly through the importance given to extracurricular activities.
UniLaSalle is a member of IALU (International Association of LaSallian Universities) and of the LaSalle Grandes Ecoles network, which brings together the 5 major French Lasallian engineering schools.

CTI / EUR-ACE
The Commission des Titres d'ingénieurs (CTI) assesses the quality of engineering courses provided in France. A course is awarded the CTI label when it meets the quality criteria defined by the CTI.
All UniLaSalle engineering courses are CTI-certified, thus granting the title of engineer to UniLaSalle graduates. This label entails European recognition of their engineering degree, via the EUR-ACE label.
ISO 9001
UniLaSalle has implemented a quality approach validated by ISO 9001 certification for its Beauvais campus since 2010, Rouen since 2020, Rennes since 2021 and Amiens in 2023.
This certification ensures that our Quality Management System complies with the main objectives of the ISO 9001 standard:
