The University of Bordeaux was founded in 1441 in France.
In 1970, the University was split up in four separate universities. It was reestablished on 1 January 2014 from the merger of three of the new universities: Bordeaux 1, Victor Segalen University (Bordeaux 2), and Montesquieu University (Bordeaux 4).
The University of Bordeaux is part of the Community of universities and higher education institutions of Aquitaine.
