universities in France - List

Academy & University in France
This is a list public universities in France, including the one French "university centre", which are distinguished as being state institutes of higher education and research that practice open admissions. The list does not include public institutions that practice competitive admissions, such as Paris Dauphine University, which changed status in 2004, the three national polytechnic institutes, the grandes écoles (among which are the three universities of technology), or private universities, such as the Catholic universities, the Protestant universities, the private secular universities, and the American University of Paris. This list does make mention of university systems related to the public universities, including the historic city university systems and the new centres for research and higher education.
