The University of Savoy Mont Blanc (French: Université Savoie Mont Blanc, a.k.a. Chambéry University) is a university in the region of Savoy, with one campus in Annecy-le-Vieux and two around Chambéry.

Campuses

The university was officially founded in 1979 from several colleges founded in the 1960s and 1970s. To avoid a straight choice between the two biggest towns of the Savoie/Haute-Savoie region, the authorities decided to set up a campus in each city for different areas of study. The university has three campuses:
