The first University of Perpignan was established in 1350 by King Peter IV of Aragon. Even then, it had a reputation as a multidisciplinary centre of learning – a reputation that has endured to this day. In 1979, the University of Perpignan became financially, administratively and educationally autonomous.
In addition to the academic courses that it offers, the UPVD is also involved in renewable energies: it runs a Master’s degree in solar energy, with support from the DERBI competitivity cluster and has a "Renewable energies" department at the Montpellier Polytech engineering school.
We are not just an establishment of prestige: the University of Perpignan has adopted the pragmatic approach of a centre for higher education and research that is focused first and foremost on helping its students gain a foothold on the job market. As they move about the campus, students will brush shoulders with company leaders, all professionals, experts and specialists from a wide range of socio-economic sectors.

The Préfecture of the Pyrénées-Orientales and the French office for immigration and integration (OFII) have branches at the overseas students' reception office to help you with the procedures that you are required to follow.
The University of Perpignan Via Domitia has entered into an agreement with the Perpignan CLOUS so that a selection of rooms may be made available for overseas students studying at the University within the framework of exchange programmes (CRéPUQ, Erasmus, Erasmus Mundus). However, as the number of rooms available is lower than the number of incoming students, not all requests may be granted.
If you would like a room or studio in a university residence, you must contact the SURI (University international relations office) representative for your exchange programme to find out details of availability and the conditions under which rooms are allocated.
