  1. The short answer

    Université Louis Pasteur (Strasbourg I) was a public university in Strasbourg, France, now part of the refounded University of Strasbourg. It suits students who want a university with a strong focus on natural sciences, technology, and medicine, and who want to study in an environment with a substantial international student presence.

  2. What you can study

    Research and teaching concentrated on the natural sciences, technology, and medicine. The university is no longer an independent institution, so the current programme catalogue needs to be checked through the University of Strasbourg.

  3. Getting in

For any application, confirm the programme entry requirements, language requirements, document list, and deadlines on the official university website.

  4. What it costs

    The university does not publish a fee for international students; confirm the current rate with its admissions office. Living costs in Strasbourg will depend on housing, transport, and daily expenses, so check current local costs before applying.

  5. Coming from abroad

    Around 3,000 foreign students were enrolled, which suggests an international environment. The language of instruction is not stated, so confirm it, along with visa requirements, accommodation options, and whether your chosen programme is still offered by the University of Strasbourg.

  6. How it compares

    France has 298 universities, and this institution stood out historically for its concentration in natural sciences, technology, and medicine. Because it lost its status as an independent university in 2009, it should be considered in the context of the University of Strasbourg rather than as a separate option.
