About the University

Aix-Marseille University (AMU; French: Aix-Marseille Université; formally incorporated as Université d’Aix-Marseille) is a public research university located in the Provence region of southern France. It was founded in 1409 when Louis II of Anjou, Count of Provence, petitioned the Pisan Antipope Alexander V to establish the University of Provence.

However, the university came into its current form on 1 January 2012 following a merger of the University of Provence, the University of the Mediterranean, and Paul Cézanne University. The merger made AMU the largest university in the French-speaking world in terms of student numbers and also endowment. That is to say, AMU has the largest budget of any academic institution in the Francophone world, standing at €750 million, and also with about 80,000 students.

Moreover, the university has five campuses located in Aix-en-Provence and Marseilles. The university is headquartered in the 7th arrondissement of Marseille. It has 19 faculties and 12 doctoral schools and offers about 600 courses across the disciplines, including arts, literature, social sciences, science, and technology.

Furthermore, AMU also has more than 500 hundred research and teaching partnerships, collaborating closely with such institutions as the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) and the French Atomic Energy and Alternative Energies Commission (CEA). Some programs are also taught in both French and English for international students, of which there are more than 10,000.

Meanwhile, AMU has produced many notable alumni in the fields of law, politics, business, science, academia, and arts. To date, there have been four Nobel Prize laureates amongst its alumni and faculty, as well as a two-time recipient of the Pulitzer Prize, four César Award winners, multiple heads of state or government, parliamentary speakers, government ministers, ambassadors, and members of the constituent academies of the Institut de France.
