The University of Lille, a multidisciplinary university of excellence at the heart of Northern Europe, boasts an outstanding cultural and scientific heritage etched into the Hauts-de-France Region's history.
In close collaboration with its partners and networks, the University of Lille designs and implements innovative programs in research, training, and knowledge transfer, always to respond to the significant challenges of our society. By merging Lille's three universities, it has empowered itself to achieve its ambition of accessing major funding programs (I-SITE University of Lille Nord-Europe, opération campus, etc.).
The I-SITE University of Lille Nord-Europe (I-SITE ULNE) is an ambitious project to systemically transform the fundamental research and higher education landscape in the Hauts-de-France region. It encompasses the University of Lille, eight grandes écoles, three research organizations (CNRS, Inserm, Inria), the CHU, and the Pasteur Institute of Lille. It aims to create a large international university that ranks among the top 50 in Europe within ten years: the University of Lille Nord-Europe (ULNE).
Certified an I-SITE in February 2017 during the 2nd wave of the Investissements d'Avenir Programme, the project is structured around three interconnected themes covering a broad range of subjects: health, the planet, and the digital world. Internationalization and the strengthening of partnerships with the socio-economic world are also central to its priorities.
The University of Lille has been certified under the French State's "Plan campus," a scheme designed to create 12 campuses of excellence with the local authorities' support. The Grand Lille campus plan takes significant real estate construction projects, with a total investment of over 450 million euros.
Registration for a thesis is open to students holding a master's degree or equivalent. For the doctoral school to authorize the registration, the student must have been accepted by a thesis supervisor and have the funding or a minimum level of resources in place. Once all of these procedures are completed (directly from the doctoral school sites), the doctoral student must register with the university each year until their thesis defense.
The university offers bilingual courses and courses entirely taught in English. To help students plan their future stay with us, themed summer universities are organized and include French language training.
International students can also benefit from French classes, with a curriculum enabling them to gradually reach an adequate level (through the Department of French as a foreign Language - DEFI) and French courses in specific scientific fields (by the Maison des Langues).
