Lille 3 is an heiress of the former University of Lille, and has for thirty years effectively lived up to the challenges and work consistently to offer high quality education to its students. The field of its disciplinary competences extended as the years passed, and at the same time as further affirmed its vocation to prepare its students with new technology that will come in handy once they enter the career world.
The University today based on the number of its students as well as by the range of its disciplines, has become the largest university of the Letters and Social sciences in the north of Paris. The Charles-of-Gaulle University - Lille 3 accommodates 22 000 students registered in fourteen U.F.R. (Units of Formation and Research), three formations of the type I.U.P. (University Institute Professionalizes), an I.U.T. (University Institute of Technology) and the institute of Training of Intervening Musicians at school (C.F.M.I.) and two doctoral schools.
