The University of Angers (French: Université d'Angers; UA) is a public university in western France, with campuses in Angers, Cholet, and Saumur.[3]

It forms part of the Angers-Le Mans University Community.[4][5]

History

The University of Angers was initially established during the 11th century as the School of Angers. It became known as the University of Angers in 1337 and was the fifth largest university in France at the time. The university existed until 1793 when all universities in France were closed. Nearly 2 centuries later, the university was reestablished in 1971 after a regrouping of several preexisting higher education establishments. It would go on to add additional campuses in Cholet and Saumur in 1987 and 2004, respectively. Today, the University of Angers counts more than 25,000 students across all campuses.[6]

The university was rated the best university in France in 2015 for success rates.[7]
