The University of Paris XII was opened in 1970 in the Val-de-Marne in the eastern suburbs of Paris. It offers a wide range of studies including Law, Economics, Management, Arts, Humanities, Urban Planning, Science, Technology, Medicine and French as a foreign language. There are 10 sites and 24 000 students.

The university aims at striking a balance between fundamental studies and pre-professional guidance, and has a dynamic continuing education department.

Its vitality in the realm of research is attested by the large number of teams accredited by the Ministry of Higher Education. There are 60 of these, of which 15 are linked to the national research organizations such as CNRS and INSERM.
