Established in the 15th century, the University of Bordeaux has deep roots in international academia. Originally founded during British rule, it transitioned to French governance shortly thereafter. Today, this esteemed institution welcomes over 55,000 students and offers a diverse range of educational and research opportunities across more than 50 fields.
One of its significant milestones came in 2016 when it was selected for the prestigious French Excellence Initiative, a recognition bestowed on only a few institutions. This initiative has sparked a profound transformation, solidifying the university’s commitment to internationalisation.
