The University of Technology of Troyes ["Université de technologie de Troyes" calls itself the University of Technology of Troyes on [http://www.utt.fr/uk/index.php its English language web site] (retrieved 2007-11-06).] ("Université de Technologie de Troyes" or UTT) is a French university, [Although called a "university", the University of Technology of Troyes is in fact a non-university institute ("école extérieure aux universités"), as defined by Chapter I, Section II (Articles 34 through 36) of French law 84-52 of 26 January 1984 regarding higher education (the "loi Savary").] in the Academy of Reims. The UTT is part of the network of the three universities of technology, found by the University of Technology of Compiègne. Inspired by the American University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, these three universities (UTC, UTBM and UTT) are a French mixture between the universities of this country and its schools of engineers (Grandes Ecoles).

They are indeed organized like the universities, temples of knowledge being based on the triptych teaching-research-valorization (transmission of knowledge, the creation of knowledge and the transfer of knowledge in economic fabric). Their teaching model is a mix between the North-American model and the French traditions: courses choice, separation of the courses, work directed ("TDs") and practical work ("TPs"). These three universities give thus an engineering degree equivalent to the Bac+5 formations of the french Grandes Ecoles.

The UTT was founded in 1994.
