University of Perpignan france About UPVD

Founded in 1350 by King Peter IV of Arago, the University of Perpignan Via Domitia is a medium sized, multidisciplinary and dynamic campus.

Every year, some 9500 students follow courses in a broad range of areas including literature, languages, humanities and social sciences, law, economics, management, sciences, sport and tourism.

UPVD is known as a university with high international visibility. By its participation in numerous European & multilateral projects, it had acquired a real know-how in implementation and management of international cooperations, capacity building projects and exchange of best practices.

UPVD has been recognized for its excellence in the fields of renewable energy and humanities by the Erasmus Mundus Label and the French Ministry awards.

The offer of study programmes is supported by a dynamic and internationally involved research based on the association of our 16 laboratories.
