What UFR3S - Département d'Ingénierie et Management de la Santé (ILIS) - Université de Lille does

UFR3S - Département d'Ingénierie et Management de la Santé (ILIS) is a public academic department within Université de Lille's UFR3S (Faculty of Health and Sport Sciences), located at 42 Rue Ambroise Paré, Loos, France. The department trains approximately 2,500 students across DEUST, Licence, and Master-level programs, supported by 240 professional instructors drawn from the health sector, with a 99% reported graduate employment rate and a mandatory 18-month internship component. Graduates are prepared for two principal career orientations: health engineering roles and management of healthcare, medico-social, social, environmental, and agri-food structures, spanning hospitals, clinics, industry, retirement homes, disability facilities, early childhood services, and decision-making bodies.

The department's product portfolio centers on regulated French university degree programs supplemented by a Formation Continue (continuing education) unit for working professionals and a pedagogical innovation initiative called LEXIM. There is no proprietary technology stack, AI/ML capability, or commercial software product; the offering is fundamentally educational service delivery, with internships and applied health-sector projects functioning as the experiential layer.

The business model is non-commercial: tuition is set by the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research, core funding flows through the parent Université de Lille as a state entity, and incremental revenue is sourced from corporate apprenticeship tax (Taxe d'apprentissage) contributions and continuing-education fees. Customer segments include initial-degree students recruited via the Parcoursup national platform and working professionals enrolled through Formation Continue, with employer engagement managed through the annual Forum des Entreprises and partnerships such as CHU de Lille. Distribution is exclusively domestic (France) and campus-based, with marketing conducted through institutional social channels (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn) and a commemorative 150th-anniversary program active in 2026.
