IUT de Lille (Roubaix site)

The Institut universitaire de technologie de Lille (IUT de Lille) is a public university technology institute attached to the Université de Lille. Its Roubaix site, historically known as IUT C, was one of three independent IUTs created progressively from 1966 within the former Université Lille 2, covering the fields of law, economics and management. The three Lille IUTs — IUT A at Villeneuve-d'Ascq, IUT B at Tourcoing and IUT C at Roubaix — were merged in February 2021 into a single IUT de Lille after the three universities themselves reunited in January 2018 to form the historic Université de Lille. Today the IUT de Lille operates across three sites in the Métropole européenne de Lille: Villeneuve-d'Ascq (Cité scientifique campus), Roubaix (campus de la gare) and Tourcoing. It welcomes nearly 4,400 students, with about 2,200 at Villeneuve-d'Ascq, 1,400 at Roubaix and 800 at Tourcoing, and manages around 800 apprenticeship contracts. Its Roubaix site moved into new premises on Avenue des Nations-Unies at the end of 2018, at the heart of the new Université de Lille gare de Roubaix campus. The institute offers a multidisciplinary range of programmes across 13 teaching departments, principally the three-year BUT (bachelor universitaire de technologie), professional bachelor's degrees (licences professionnelles) and a two-year national master's degree in the sciences, technologies and health field taught at Villeneuve-d'Ascq. A significant share of its activity is devoted to continuing education and work-study (alternance). The master's, focused on Quality, Hygiene, Safety and Environment (QHSE) and integrated management systems, is highly selective and taught by academics from the IUT, Polytech Lille and the university's faculty of sciences, alongside professional practitioners. The IUT de Lille positions itself as a multidisciplinary institute recognised for the quality of its vocational training, its close student support and its strong links with business. It engages with companies through apprenticeship recruitment, offers and the apprenticeship tax (taxe d'apprentissage). Its campuses offer sports, cultural and student-association life. In September 2022, in tribute to Samuel Paty, the teacher murdered in October 2020, the IUT de Lille renamed one of its amphitheatres at the Tourcoing site. From the start of the 2024 academic year, the chemistry and mechanical and production engineering departments moved from Le Recueil to a new building on the Cité scientifique campus, with the State becoming owner of the former Le Recueil premises and land.

The Lille IUTs were created progressively from 1966. Originally there were three independent IUTs: IUT A at Villeneuve-d'Ascq, a component of Université Lille 1 in the fields of science, technology and health; IUT B at Tourcoing, a component of Université Lille 3 in the humanities and social sciences; and IUT C at Roubaix, a component of Université Lille 2 in law, economics and management. The Roubaix site's building was historically located at the Rond-Point de l'Europe in Roubaix. New premises for the Roubaix site were inaugurated on Avenue des Nations-Unies at the end of 2018, at the heart of the new Université de Lille gare de Roubaix campus. The three universities merged in January 2018 to form the historic Université de Lille once again, and the three IUTs merged in February 2021 to form the IUT de Lille, now spread across three sites (Villeneuve-d'Ascq, Tourcoing and Roubaix). In September 2022, in homage to Samuel Paty, the teacher murdered outside his secondary school on 16 October 2020, the IUT de Lille renamed one of its amphitheatres at the Tourcoing site. From the start of the 2024 academic year, the chemistry and mechanical and production engineering departments moved from the place known as Le Recueil to a new building on the Cité scientifique campus; the State then became owner of the former Le Recueil premises and land. The institute today welcomes nearly 4,400 students (about 2,200 at Villeneuve-d'Ascq, 1,400 at Roubaix and 800 at Tourcoing) and manages around 800 apprenticeship contracts. Its training offer is spread across 13 departments covering all disciplinary fields: Carrières juridiques; Science des données; Techniques de commercialisation; Carrières sociales; Information et communication; Management de la logistique et des transports; Chimie; Génie biologique; Génie électrique et informatique industrielle; Génie mécanique et productique; Gestion des entreprises et des administrations; Informatique; Mesures Physiques. It mainly delivers BUTs and professional bachelor's degrees, plus a two-year national master's degree in the sciences, technologies and health field at Villeneuve-d'Ascq, focused on Quality, Hygiene, Safety and Environment (QHSE) and integrated management systems, with a highly selective intake and teaching by academics from the IUT, Polytech Lille and the university's faculty of sciences, as well as professional practitioners.
