The UPHF was created through the transformation of the University of Valenciennes and Hainaut-Cambrésis. The University of Polytechnique Hauts-de-France (UPHF) is the first "polytechnic" university in France. This new institutional model is based on a reorganization around two main pillars: on one side, science and technology, and on the other, humanities.

UPHF offers 160 programs across three major fields:

• Science, technology, and health
• Law, economics, management
• Arts, letters, languages, humanities

Located on five green, human-scale campuses in Maubeuge, Cambrai, and Valenciennes, UPHF holds the "Bienvenue en France" level 2 label. To promote both interdisciplinary and international professional integration, UPHF is a partner of EUNICE. EUNICE is an alliance of seven European higher education institutions working towards the creation of a new European university.
