Reference excerpt

The Université Évry Paris-Saclay or UEPS (formerly Université d'Évry Val-d'Essonne or UEVE) is a French public university located in Évry-Courcouronnes, Île-de-France, and is one of the founding members of Paris-Saclay University. The UEVE merged with the Paris-Saclay University in 2025.

Overview UEVE university founded in 1991 (by Decree), is located in a ville nouvelle which is dynamic and constantly evolving. The city of Évry-Courcouronnes is home to many firms (Accor, Carrefour etc.), the largest mall in Île-de-France and a national theatre.

There are more than 160 curricula from two-year undergraduate degrees to the doctoral level, over half of which are professionally oriented. The university offers courses in Science, Technology, Law, Economics, Management and Social Sciences. Today, the university counts more than 10,000 students (data july 2023) in both initial and ongoing training and the university has built a reputation as a center of excellence. Thanks to 19 laboratories and 9 doctoral schools, the university is also a significant research centre developing major projects, in particular, those concerning Biology in conjunction with the French National Sequencing Center (Genoscope). The university is a member of UniverSud Paris, Cap Digital, Systematic Paris-Region, ASTech, Medicen, and Finance Innovation and an associate member of the University of Paris-Saclay.

Academics

Unité de Formation et de Recherche (UFR) The Savary Law of 1984 restructured academic departments in French universities. Each department was made into a UFR, "Unité de formation et de recherche" or Research and Formation Unit that offers both undergraduate and graduate programs. Each UFR of the university is governed by a director elected from the department and heads over a council of elected professors who control its curriculum.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with University of Évry Val d'Essonne

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what University of Évry Val d'Essonne claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to University of Évry Val d'Essonne before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about University of Évry Val d'Essonne ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of University of Évry Val d'Essonne

In research: University of Évry Val d'Essonne appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses University of Évry Val d'Essonne in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: University of Évry Val d'Essonne is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1991 establishments in France, Education in Évry, Essonne, Engineering universities and colleges in France, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for University of Évry Val d'Essonne outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
