In Nancy, three universities were founded in the 20th century, among which a National Polytechnic Institute that combined several engineering schools. In Metz, the first university appeared in 1970. On January 1st, 2012, after several years of preparation, these four universities merged into one, forming Université de Lorraine.
Université de Lorraine promotes innovation through the dialogue of knowledge, taking advantage of the variety and strength of its scientific fields, and aiming at the promotion of knowledge transfer to irrigate innovation and economic growth as well as the progress of fundamental science.
There is no coincidence. The scientific thematic areas which have developed in Lorraine result from this region’s history, through the cross-fertilization of scientific fields present for a century, and through their highly increased interaction in the last decade.

As we are part of the University of the Greater Region, please note that you have a free access to all the libraries of the partner universities (University of the Saar, University of Luxembourg, University of Liège, University of Trier, University of Kaiserslautern).
Healthcare coverage in France is made up of a compulsory social protection (the so-called social security) and a complementary optional health insurance.
Some of the campuses are located in the heart of the city, close to train stations, amenities, and cultural sites. Others are located in wooded areas away from major roads.
All of them, however, are easy to access and are connected to each other and to the inner city through performant and safe public transit.
Very good university highly recommended
I am a good student and I already finished my masters. I loved the college and the study experience. However, it took me very long to adapt to the culture and I faced difficulties due to the language barrier. Overall my experience is so far was good but I faced little problems.
Overall, I've had a pretty good experience but I there's way too many courses per semester (12 to 14)
