Multidisciplinary and multi-site, it has 8 departments, 29 research units, 10,000 students and nearly 1,200 staff, making it one of the largest science faculties in France.

A word from the Dean

Welcome to the Faculty of Sciences

The Faculty of Sciences of Aix-Marseille University is a place ofinnovation and continuous improvement.
Innovation in its many laboratories, which cover all scientific disciplines. Continuous improvement because the teaching teams are constantly working to improve the skills of our students when they graduate: scientific skills, of course, i.e. the ability to solve a new problem, professional skills by working with the socio-economic world, international skills by developing agreements with many universities, particularly within the framework of the CIVIS agreement, but not only.

Recently created institutes are responsible for working in a multidisciplinary way on a given theme in order to break down the boundaries between disciplines and strengthen the link between training and research.

This "training-research" link characterizes university training. It provides a very rich working methodology applicable to all sectors. Thus, the very high level of research developed in our laboratories contributes to the quality of our students' training and facilitates their professional integration.
