Student services
To facilitate student success, and especially those in their first year of the Licence programme, the Université Savoie Mont Blanc promotes teaching in small groups and the provision of tutorials.
Housing services
The Université Savoie Mont Blanc has a privileged partnership with the CROUS (Centre Régional des Oeuvres Universitaires et Scolaires) in order to provide bedrooms in universitary residences to a maximum of students welcomed as part of a partnership or an exchange programme, but unfortunately, we cannot garantee accommodation for everybody.
