The University of Poitiers (French: Université de Poitiers) is a university located in Poitiers, France.
[edit] HistoryFounded in 1431 by Pope Eugene IV and chartered by King Charles VII, the University of Poitiers was originally composed of five faculties: theology, canon law, civil law, medicine, and arts. In the 16th century, the university exerted its influence over the town cultural life, and was ranked second only to Paris. Of the 4,000 students who attended it at the time, some were to become famous: Joachim Du Bellay, Jean-Louis Guez de Balzac, François Rabelais, René Descartes, Francis Bacon, and Scévole de Sainte Marthe, to name but a few. After temporary closure during the French Revolution when provincial universities were abolished, the University of Poitiers reopened in 1896. The reinstated university was merged from several schools and contained new faculties such as the faculty of science and the faculty of letters. [edit] OrganizationThe university covers all major academic fields through its 14 Teaching and Research Departments, Institutes and Schools:
Moreover, its law studies were ranked as the second best in France by the French magazine "l'étudiant", in 2005. [edit] Points of interest[edit] See also[edit] External links
