ENSG-Géomatique, founding school and member of the Gustave Eiffel University

Logo Université Gustave Eiffel (UGE)

The National School of Geographic Sciences (ENSG-Géomatique) became part of Gustave Eiffel University on 1 January 2020. This university is the result of the merger between Université Paris-Est Marne-la-Vallée and IFSTTAR, a national research organisation, as well as the integration of four schools: ESIEE Paris, ENSG-Géomatique, EIVP and EAV&T. By combining the skills of these six founding members, the Gustave Eiffel University boasts a high level of expertise that is internationally recognised in a number of academic rankings.

Through the combined strengths of its teaching and research facilities, the Gustave Eiffel University's ambition is to ensure its development through the affirmation of a strategy based on the complementarity of its founders. In this way, because it creates better synergies, the University can offer its different audiences a broader range of skills. Whether training young people, employees or citizens at all levels, or providing scientific insights at every level, the Gustave Eiffel University aims to contribute to raising the level of qualifications for all.

The Gustave Eiffel University has several campuses throughout France. The number of staff and students at the university is small enough to ensure that the university remains close to its students and that each student receives individual attention. Each of the sites is committed to developing campus life in order to provide a pleasant living environment on a daily basis.   

The Gustave Eiffel University is ranked as one of the best universities in terms of student success and added value, i.e. its ability to support its students in achieving their academic and professional goals. The Gustave Eiffel University is constantly striving to provide you with the best possible experience, and is regularly updating its teaching methods, closely combining traditional teaching methods with new teaching approaches, relying heavily on the deployment of high-performance digital tools that you will very soon discover. 

Renowned in France for the professionalism of its courses, with over 24% of students enrolled on sandwich courses/vocational coop programs (apprenticeships and professional training contracts). Once again, this year, more than half of our students will be undertaking a part of their studies in a professional environment (internship, apprenticeship, etc.). This close relationship with the socio-economic world is a key factor in our excellent success rate in terms of getting students into the workplace after completing their training.

Student Life

The Gustave Eiffel University has a wealth of student associations with a variety of aims, and many events are organised at the Maison de l'Etudiant, which is located at the heart of the Marne-la-Vallée campus: sports, parties, films, student radio, concerts, etc.

In addition to the main campus in Marne-la-Vallée, the other campuses of the Université Gustave Eiffel in Lille, Lyon, Marseille, Nantes, Paris and Versailles offer many opportunities for training, research and student life activities as part of the curriculum.
