UFR STGI

What UFR STGI does

UFR STGI is a public higher education unit (Unité de Formation et de Recherche) of Université Marie et Louis Pasteur (formerly Université de Franche-Comté), headquartered in Montbéliard with a secondary campus in Belfort, France. Founded in 1993, it delivers undergraduate (Licence), graduate (Master), and engineering (CMI) programmes across five academic departments: AES-Droit-Management, Langues Étrangères Appliquées, Multimédia & Informatique, Sciences de la Vie et Environnement, and Sciences & Énergies. Its core academic workforce comprises 64 teacher-researchers and 50 doctoral students, supplemented by approximately 150 industry professionals (vacataires) who contribute to pedagogical teams.

The institution's technology and curriculum assets include the CMI H3E programme — the first hydrogen engineering programme created in France (2014), which received the EUR-ACE European engineer label in January 2025 — the English-taught Master IoT (covering embedded systems, cloud computing, and AI techniques, supported by FEMTO-ST laboratory), the Master PSM in multimedia products and services, and the Master LECCO in e-commerce and digital communication. Additional assets include research affiliations with FEMTO-ST, FCLAB, INTHY, ELLIADD, and the Réseau EDEN.i energy transition network, as well as dedicated events such as Forum Énergies, Journées E-Commerce, and Matinées de la Transition Énergétique that connect students to regional employers including Stellantis, Dalkia, Vinci Énergies, and Eiffage.

UFR STGI operates under a non-commercial public revenue model: primary funding comes from French government higher education allocations, supplemented by national tuition fees (€178/year for EU Licence, €255/year for EU Master, rising to €2,902-€3,950/year for non-EU Bachelor's/Master's). Student recruitment occurs through the centralised national university admission platform and Campus France for international students, with additional reach via regional press, social media, and education fairs. The institution also generates ancillary revenue through the taxe d'apprentissage (apprenticeship tax) and room rental for partner organisations.
