- As France's leading university with over 80,000 students, 8,000 staff members, and 800,000 m² of real estate assets, Aix Marseille Université (AMU) awards nearly 1,100 degrees across its 17 constituent bodies (faculties, schools, and training institutes). Recognized for its scientific excellence, it ranks among the TOP 5 French universities in the Shanghai Ranking. Benefiting from a unique territorial network spread across 54 sites in 4 départements and 10 cities (including a branch in Wuhan, China), AMU is a considerable asset for the region's economic development. As the lead institution of the CIVIS European university alliance, AMU combines strong regional roots with international ambition. It welcomes more than 12,000 international students and develops strategic partnerships across the globe. As a research-intensive university, obtaining the "Initiative d'Excellence" label in 2012 helped propel it into the ranks of the world's top universities. AMU is home to 121 research units, 12 doctoral schools, 20 interdisciplinary institutes, and 72 cutting-edge technology platforms working alongside major national research organizations. The university pursues an ambitious innovation policy, notably through the creation of the Cité de l'Innovation et des Savoirs Aix-Marseille (CISAM), recognized as one of the 25 places transforming innovation in France, and by leading major initiatives such as the Marseille Immunology Biocluster, the Pôle Universitaire d'Innovation (PUI Provence), and the Mission Europe pour la Recherche. A civic-minded and engaged university, its University Foundation strengthens its commitment to diversity, inclusion, and the fight against precarity. Finally, AMU places climate issues at the heart of its policy: since 2020, it has had a Climate Council made up of scientists and civil society experts committed to combating climate change.
