The University of Lille is composed by 3 independent campuses (Lille1, Lille2 and Lille 3) and has 65,909 students (8,630 are international) - 3,300 teachers and researchers plus 2,000 PhD candidates - 2,500 technicians and administrative staff.

The excellence can be seen as well through its 4 Graduate Schools of Engineering (Architecture, Telecommunications, Engineering, Chemistry) and its 6 Doctoral Schools (400 PhDs awarded per year).

Our Traditional Forces concerns the Engineering, the Life and Health Sciences, Humanities.

The CDE was conceived to federate the European activities of 6 cross border regional doctoral schools, and to develop new, coordinated projects to ensure the excellence of doctoral education, the promotion and international mobility of Doctors, and to foster the employability of doctoral fellows. The CDE provides financing via specific calls for doctoral projects based on Europe attractiveness and academic excellence.

At Lille, research activities have a truly international scope that is measured via the setting up of 12 Joint European or International laboratories, an active participation in European and international programs (70 European FRP VI projects including 7 as coordinator, 27 INTERREG III cross-border projects, 55 international French-speaking country programmes, 2 Erasmus Mundus Master Courses and 6 Erasmus Mundus External Cooperation Window).

Lille laboratories are equipped with cutting edge science facilities and technological platforms, integrated within regional, national and international science community networks.

In relation with research, Lille has a very strong emphasis within official clusters:

The "Next Generation Personalized Medicine" cluster (NGPM):
The "Information and Communication Technologies" cluster (ICT):
The "Sciences of Atmospheric Environment" cluster (SAE):
The "Argumentation, Decision-making, Action" cluster:
The "Transport" cluster
The "Materials" cluster

University of Lille, involved in numerous partnerships (national organisations, research and business clusters, local authorities, and international projects) is a top-flight centre for science and technology, Medicine, Law, Human sciences both at national and international levels. Its laboratories are affiliated with national research organisations, i.e. CNRS, INRIA, INSERM and INRA. The quality of its research teams and science facilities is recognized in international rankings;

These research projects are all to be found within an extremely competitive environment that the development strategy of the international co-operations cannot ignore.

This environment is the natural instrument for the affirmation of high-quality teaching, in particular when considering its emphasis on social responsibility. In defining the scope of our proposal, the selection of many high level masters and of quality training programs developed in schools was carried out. This selection offers proof of our capacity to follow a high level training policy, as well as of the coherence between teaching and research within the clusters defined.
