Université Paris Nanterre

Paris Nanterre University spans 32 hectares and features modern infrastructure including a theater, multiple libraries, a museum, an archive center called La Contemporaine, and a complete sports complex with gymnasium, swimming pool and climbing wall.

Founded in 1964 to address overcrowding in traditional Parisian universities, the institution became the stage for May 68 social movements and experienced various expansion phases with the creation of new academic units through the 1984 Savary law.

The establishment offers over 180 Master's programs and more than 90 Bachelor's and technical degree programs across diverse disciplines including arts, literature, languages, law, economics, management and social sciences, supporting active student life through more than 80 student associations.

The university operates three campuses in Nanterre, Ville d'Avray and Saint-Cloud, with opening hours Monday through Saturday from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM, offering both in-person and distance learning programs with personalized student support services.

The university houses 43 research units and over 1,000 engaged staff including CNRS researchers, specializing particularly in history covering all periods from antiquity to contemporary times with expertise in medieval Arab-Muslim world studies.
