18 research participants (two universities, seven research centers, nine major engineering and business schools) decided to join forces within the Paris-Saclay Campus Foundation to create Université Paris-Saclay.

Université Paris-Saclay offers a wide range of courses, from bachelor's degree to doctorate, all of a high international level, within the fields of natural, human and social sciences. Each student is able to flexibly organize their courses, being a key player in their own education in favour of their life goals.
