Bordeaux Montaigne University brings together more than 14 000 students and 1 300 teaching and administrative staff for study and research in the arts, languages, literature, and human and social sciences.
As a laboratory for ideas, and an intellectual hotbed, Bordeaux Montaigne University contributes meaningfully to the scientific debates of its day and works tirelessly to cultivate and nurture its fundamental values: independence, and freedom of thought. The University considers equality of opportunities to be one of its priority missions. It works permanently to perfect the courses it offers and to support and guide its students towards success.
Now so more than ever before, Bordeaux Montaigne University seeks to follow in the path of Michel de Montaigne, continuing to offer a university model that is distinctly human in its scope and appearance. By the values that have characterized it since its very establishment, the University seeks to be: humanist, exploratory, polyglot, civic-minded, creative, and digitally connected.
Bordeaux Montaigne University upholds and protects its academic disciplines. At the same time, new disciplines have also been introduced. The University continues to adapt to the vocations of today and the future, without abandoning its convictions and while persisting in its research priorities.
Bordeaux Montaigne University offers 138 nationally-recognized diplomas. These are offered across its three university faculties, known as UFRs: Humanities, Languages and Civilisations, and Territorial and Communication Sciences, and its two university institutes: the Bordeaux Montaigne University Institute of Technology, (IUT) and the Bordeaux Aquitaine Institute of Journalism (IJBA). Both institutes are situated in the Sainte-Croix neighborhood of Bordeaux. The University also offers teaching in English and Spanish at its branch in Agen, the Centre Universitaire d'Agen.
Moreover, the University is associated with the teacher training college for the Aquitaine region (ESPE d'Aquitaine), to provide professional training for future schoolteachers.
Each year, some 450 students come to study at Bordeaux Montaigne as part of international co-operation and exchange agreements. They arrive from across Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas, and some 300 home students go off to study abroad. The University is immensely proud of this strong international network, the development, and promotion of which figures high on the list of strategic challenges to be addressed over the coming years. Pride of place is given to our visiting professor program, dispensing teaching in a foreign language, and playing an active role in international networks.
Bordeaux Montaigne has always been a destination for students from France's overseas territories, and this tradition has now been extended to overseas students of all origins. Approximately 120 different nationalities figure each year among the students enrolled at the University.
Bordeaux Montaigne University offers many services and tools to improve access to information for everyone. All university buildings have disabled access, and the team at the Disability Services, or Pôle Handicap, receives disabled students and supports them throughout their studies. Healthcare and social welfare professionals are also ready to help, both at the University and on the campus in the city center.
Bordeaux Montaigne University has 47 associations working on a wide range of missions, and some are specifically dedicated to welcoming international students.
Wherever you may be on campus, the Aquipass card will be your key and can be used to borrow items from the university libraries, pay for your meals in university restaurants, and so on.
The interlibrary loan is a service that permits to bring books, Ph.D. thesis, and journal articles copy conserved in other French or foreign libraries.
At Bordeaux Montaigne, we educate our students in disciplines that are intimately linked to creativity and critical thinking, and students are immersed in an environment in which individual talents may flourish. The University is open to society at large, a world in which cultural exchange and artistic expression may be freely voiced.
Throughout the year, the University offers a rich and varied program of cultural events, music, theatre, literature, or cinema. It supports and advises students and lecturers who run cultural projects and promotes artistic expression through workshops, artists in residence, performances, and intellectuals encounters.
These events and activities are the fruit of close partnerships between the central service promoting cultural activity and student life, the faculties, research teams, and student associations and between the University and its institutional and cultural partners from the city of Bordeaux and broader urban area.
The University's cultural life has a remarkable venue at its disposal - the Arts Centre, entirely dedicated to arts education, creation, and expression.
