The Université de Montpellier (University of Montpellier) is a public university in Montpellier, in the Occitanie region of southern France. Its history goes back to 1220, and the present university was created in 2015 by merging two Montpellier universities. It has 54,210 students and 17 faculties, schools and institutes, including university institutes of technology (IUT) in Béziers, Nîmes and Montpellier-Sète, and offers around 650 programmes. According to the university, it is in the top 200 of the Shanghai ranking.

Main fields of study:

• Science and technology, including the engineering school Polytech Montpellier
• Medicine, dentistry and pharmacy
• Law and political science
• Economics and management
• Sport sciences (STAPS) and education

Each year the university welcomes more than 10,000 international students from over 150 countries. It offers bachelor's, master's and doctoral programmes taught entirely in English, which require no prior knowledge of French, among them the 13 English-taught master's tracks of the IDIL graduate programme. A Welcome Desk helps international students with formalities such as visas, accommodation and insurance, and French as a foreign language courses are available. From the 2026 academic year, higher (differentiated) tuition fees apply to some non-EU international students.
