List of French universities and their websites
In EnglishThe table below lists all public universities and private universities in France.
- It does not include "grandes écoles" which are mostly outside the university system.
- Lists are by region and in
each
region by town or city.
-
Most French universities are public. The private universities are the
five catholic universities in the list.
-
Many universities have satellite campuses in
other towns in their region, though the principal faculties or UFR tend
to be located on the main campus.
-
Student numbers are approximate, and designed to give a general idea of
how big the university is.
-
The expression "full range" is used for pluridisciplinary universities
which include all the main traditional faculties of a large university,
i.e. Arts, social sciences, law, economics and management, science and
medicine. "Arts" includes languages and literature and other
humanities.
