- It does not include "grandes écoles" - though some of these are within the university system.
- Lists are by region and in each traditional (pre 2016) 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.
