Université de Pau et des Pays de l’Adour
The Université de Pau et des Pays de l’Adour or UPPA was founded in 1972. It is a multi-site establishment, based in Pau (département of Pyrénées-Atlantiques) but also in Bayonne, Tarbes and Mont-de-Marsan in the Adour river basin. Coming administratively under the Academy of Bordeaux, it is the third largest university in southwestern France (after Bordeaux and Toulouse), with some 12,000 students.
Université de Pau et des Pays de l’Adour
The university was founded in 1970, in a splendid formerly urban park. However, the origins of the law faculty (UFR de droit, économie et gestion) go further back; it was created in 1947 by Robert Poplawski (dean from 1947 to 1953) and Dean Vizioz, and was lodged in Villa Lawrence in Pau town centre.
