The University is committed to the highest international standards of excellence in research and teaching. As one of Europe's leading research universities, LMU looks back on 500 years of tradition and forward to the challenges and responsibilities ahead. Its excellence in teaching and research embraces a wide diversity of fields—from the humanities and cultural studies through law, economics, and social sciences to medicine and natural sciences. An intense interdisciplinary approach fosters the innovation so critical to our global future. LMU's faculty—whether they are early-career professors or internationally renowned prize-winners—form the foundation of the University's distinguished record in research. Their expertise, dedication, and creativity underpin the University's success in the Germany-wide Excellence Initiative, a competition in which LMU has won the enormous grant support awarded to a single institution. These resources are being used to enhance our shared pursuit of knowledge, a continually evolving process. LMU is home to students from all parts of Germany and more than 130 countries around the globe. They benefit from the University's uniquely comprehensive array of study programs and its strong focus on research. At all stages of academic training, we emphasize the links between research and course content. Our students view their studies as a springboard to a rewarding career, not least because Munich is one of Germany's foremost centers for technology and the media. Academic diversity thrives in an environment that encompasses social skills alongside a critical awareness of values and history. This includes the Munich legacy of the Weisse Rose, the student-based resistance group that opposed Nazism. When you come to LMU, you join a community dedicated to making the most of their talents, curiosity, and opportunities. I am both honored and humbled to be part of this community. LMU Munich has a classical academic profile ranging from the humanities and cultural sciences, law, economics, and social sciences to medicine and natural sciences. The University is divided into 18 faculties and enjoys one of Germany's most adequate library systems. Creative thinking, problem-solving, and research are central to LMU's academic programs. With 2,300 beds, its Medical Center is, next to the Charité in Berlin, the most prestigious and largest institution in Germany. LMU Munich enjoys an excellent library system. Faculty and students also have access to the Bavarian State Library, the Technische Universität München Library, other local and state LMU partner libraries, and the German university interlibrary loan network. The University's library system consists of the Main University Library and more than 130 decentralized libraries hosted by the individual faculties. Its total stock amounts to about 6.5 million volumes. The vast majority of the library system's holdings are listed in the online catalog accessible on the Internet. Whereas the holdings of the decentralized libraries are generally not available for lending, the Main Library houses lending stocks totaling 2.4 million volumes. These include the valuable old inventory of over 3,000 manuscripts and approximately 400,000 old prints up to the publication year 1900, the second-largest in Bavaria's Free State. Students and researchers at LMU Munich also have access to libraries at other universities and institutes of higher education in Munich and partner libraries and the special libraries our University maintains. Since the founding of LMU Munich, the University Archives has preserved archival material from the Board of University Representatives, Rectorate, faculties, and institutes and maintains its impressive University and faculty history library. It is open during select hours for academic research. Researchers are requested to contact the Archive in advance. Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (LMU) München is a public corporation with the right of self-governance within the law's confines. At the same time, it is a state entity divided into a central administration and 18 faculties. The University Executive Board is composed of six members: the president and five vice presidents. The University Executive Board consults with its main advisory board, the University Council, comprised of the University's members and high-ranking and experienced representatives from the private sector, the professional world, and other academic branches. The University Governing Board consists of the Executive Board members, the deans, and the women's representative of the University. To develop competitive procedures adapted to the logic and specific performance of the different subject groups, a system of consultative committees was introduced, the functions of which are defined in LMU Munich's Basic Statutes. The faculties themselves house various academic bodies such as departments and institutes, as well as managing units. In order to strengthen interdisciplinary collaboration, members of these academic bodies can merge to form cross-disciplinary centers.

The international is a priority in the strategy of development of the University of Picardie Jules Verne. Its presence on the international scene is manifested by expanding its partner universities' network, its participation in effective exchange programs, and its accession to the Agence Universitaire de la Francophonie and the Agency National Campus France. In the early '60s, Amiens grouped four pre-university level establishments: a national school of medicine and pharmacy, a law school, a science college, and an art school. However, these structures did not supply a complete cycle of studies, forcing Amiens to continue their studies elsewhere. Students coming under an exchange agreement attend the same classes and courses and are subject to the same assessments as local students. Grades obtained while studying abroad are recorded, and validation by their university is guaranteed. This course is entirely free of charge, takes place throughout the academic year, and refreshes and develops French language skills. Courses are available at different levels (elementary, intermediate, advanced, and highly advanced) with 5 hours per week and per level: 2½ hours on French culture and civilization, 2½ hours on the French language, making a total of 50 hours per semester. These courses can give up to 8 ECTS credits per semester for validation by the student's home university. An FLE course registration form is sent to students and must be completed and returned to the Department of International Affairs before arrival. The FLE Centre regularly offers courses in French for University Objectives (FUO), which feature intensive French language courses before the start of the academic year (at the beginning of September). These courses allow for a comprehensive review of language basics and help prepare students for university life in France. Conferences about France and cultural activities are also included in the program. Furthermore, this course provides an ideal first opportunity for international students to meet up. A great way to start the year.
