A student city through history
Nancy owes its concentration of universities and university colleges to the transfer of Pont à Mousson University to the city in 1768. Founded in 1572, this was one of Europe’s oldest universities.
It closed during the French revolution, reopening in 1854.
Between 1871 and 1914, Nancy University benefited from an influx of students from Alsace-Moselle, which was annexed by Prussia, and from the fact that Strasbourg became a German city meaning that its university was no longer part of the French system.
Nancy cemented its position as one of France’s major university cities during the 20th century. Until the 2011 merger which created the single Lorraine University, Nancy had two universities and a polytechnic made up of 10 university colleges.
Today, Lorraine University consists of 58 different colleges with 49,000 students (and more than 5,000 researchers and administrative staff). Of these, 60% are in Greater Nancy and 40% in Metz.

Magie hivernale Place Stanislas ❄️✨ La neige fraîchement tombée transforme la ville en un conte de fées. Les lumières scintillent, mettant en valeur le dragon qui veille silencieusement selon la légende sur les anciens marécages sur laquelle la place est construite. #lempreurlumiere #dragon #placestanislasnancy #placestanislas #unesco #placestanislasbynight #nancy #nancyville #nancytourisme #nancynotreville #nancymaville #nancyfrance #vieillevillenancy #igersnancy #igerslorraine #igersfrance #grandest_focus_on #grandest #coupdecoeurgrandest #destinationnancy #destinationlorraine #france4dreams #tourisme54 #nikonphoto #lorraineactu #francebleusudlorraine #france3lorraine
