Here are just some of the city’s greatest characteristics:

  • It is part of the UNESCO World Heritage List, described as "an outstanding urban and architectural ensemble”.
  • It is a dynamic metropolis, blessed with a particularly prestigious historical and cultural heritage.
  • It is classified as "City of Art and History”.
  • It is the wine capital of the world with around 10,000 wine-producing châteaux.
  • It is located just one hour from the Atlantic Ocean, thus enjoying a mild oceanic climate and rich natural surroundings.


    The University of Bordeaux has one of the largest campuses (260 hectares) in Europe. It is composed of several sites that are located near to the city and that offer a wide range of services and amenities. In terms of sports equipment, the offer is extensive: an Olympic size swimming pool, 3 synthetic and 1 football turf pitches, 5 rugby turf pitches, a sports hall of 2,000m² for basketball, tennis, table tennis, badminton etc., 3 squash courts, an athletics track, a weights room… the list goes on!


    Within each site, dedicated offices (for students and international researchers) offer advice and information to support the newcomers’ integration to university and city life. In addition, the future looks bright! Operation Campus is an ongoing renovation project of 538M€ destined to modernize and better equip the four main campus sites.


    The University of Bordeaux campuses offer the academic community a pleasant working and living environment. The students on each site have access to a wide range of local services: information, career and employment guidance, university restaurants, student accommodation, libraries.


      A wide range of cultural activities are available throughout the academic year: workshops, film debates, science cafés, lectures, exhibitions, concerts, shows, etc. The University has a rich and varied heritage - rare museum collections, an architectural heritage – that is just waiting to be discovered!
