Université de Picardie Jules Verne

Université de Picardie Jules Verne is a university located in Amiens, France, and is under the Academy of Amiens. It was founded in 1970 and is organized in 12 Faculties.

In the early 60′s, Amiens grouped together 4 pre-university level establishments: a national school of medicine and pharmacy, a law school, a science college and an arts school. However these structures did not supply a complete cycle of studies, forcing the students of Amiens to continue their studies elsewhere. Since the first education authority disappeared in 1848, the establishments in Amiens were governed by the Lille Academy.
