The University of Provence Aix-Marseille I (Template:Langx) was a public research university mostly located in Aix-en-Provence and Marseille.[1] It was one of the three Universities of Aix-Marseille and was part of the Academy of Aix and Marseille. On 1 January 2012, it merged with the University of the Mediterranean and Paul Cézanne University to become Aix-Marseille University, the youngest, but also the largest in terms of students, budgets and staff in the French-speaking world.
Overview
The University of Provence was founded on 9 December 1409 as a studium generale by Louis II of Anjou, Count of Provence, and subsequently recognized by papal bull issued by Antipope Alexander V.[2][3] In 1792, the University of Provence, along with twenty-one other universities, was dissolved during the French Revolution. The university was recreated in 1896. Following riots among university students in May 1968,[4] it was re-established in 1968 through a merger of the school of humanities in Aix-en-Provence and the science one in Marseille.[5] "The University of Provence [was] one of the most distinguished in France, second only to the University of Paris in the areas of French literature, history, and linguistics", according to Harvard University's website.[6]
In the academic year of 2007–2008, 23,056 students were enrolled.[7] Among them, 15,158 were female, while only 7,898 were male.[7] 3,255 students came from countries outside France, 44 per cent of these came from Africa.[7] 15,109 students studied in Aix-en-Provence, while others went to Marseille, Avignon, Digne, Lambesc, Arles and Aubagne.[7] Overall, its facilities spanned 258 143 m2.[8]
In 2007, the budget was 120,7 million euros, with 39,2 million euros available after wages.[9]
It had its own university press, Publications de l'Université de Provence.[10] It also had its own theater, the Théâtre Antoine Vitez, named for Antoine Vitez.[11][12][13][14][15]
