In 1965, the decision was made to open a literary college on the edge of Le Mans.

In 1969, the city of Le Mans obtained total independence from the University of Caen.

[3] Le Mans University was officially recognized by the French Ministry of Higher Education in 1977.

The leaders were aware that the campus needed to develop, comparing it to the larger neighboring universities.

However, the university had a major disadvantage: the campus was too far from the city centre, and in the evening, it felt desolate, which many found distressing.

In 1992, the European institute of music professions decided to settle in the centre of the technopole, close to the university.

In the same year, the CTTM: Le Mans Technology Transfer Center opened its doors.

The development of the streets is revised, the science department is enlarged with 21 million francs, entirely taken over by the CUM.

In 1997, for the twenty years of the campus, the Higher School of Geometers and topographers comes to settle in Le Mans.

The scattered premises of the former BUs of the various UFRs are abandoned to make them classrooms or IBs, libraries of institutes, more sharp than the central BU.

In 2002, the technopole took on a new form, as pharmaceutical companies expanded and gained ground on the southern end of the campus.

Between 2003 and 2006, the facilities were numerous, and the bet made 30 years ago, to link the university to the city was finally won.

The IUT de Laval's courses are organized around four themes: The ENSIM School of Engineering courses are divided into two specialties and four options: The university's campuses are both located on spacious plots of land on the outskirts of Laval and Le Mans.
