What is UGEI?
The Union of Independent Grandes Écoles (in French: Union des Grandes Écoles indépendantes, UGEI) is an association of French private Grandes Écoles formed in 1993. Their legal status is a French association, which means they are a non-profit organization. They bring together leading engineering and business schools that wish to remain independent.
34 Grandes Écoles (French higher education institutions in engineering and business, access to which is highly selective) are now part of the association. These schools reflect both the long tradition of private higher education in France and its constant adaptation to companies’ changing needs. Their work complements the one public higher education institutions do.
