With 80,000 students and almost 8,000 staff, (AMU) is the largest French-speaking multidisciplinary university, and the result of a merger between the University of Provence, the University of the Mediterranean and Paul Cézanne University in 2012. Its facilities are spread across 17 faculties, schools and institutes, five campuses, nine cities and four departments in Southern France. AMU's five key disciplinary sectors are Arts, Letters, Languages and Humanities, Law and Political Science, Economics and Management, Health, Science and Technology, and a multidisciplinary sector. Interdisciplinarity is at the core of AMU's development strategy, which is reflected in its recent creation of 15 institutional institutes that serve as a bridge between research, training and a global outlook. The university's commitment to internationalization is also reflected in AMU's 350 partnership agreements, its memberships in the CIVIS alliance of 10 European universities and in the U7+ alliance of world universities, as well as in the establishment of a permanent representation office to the EU in Brussels.
