Academic Year 2023/2024

Aix-Marseille University is the fruit of the merger of the three institutions: Universities of Provence, Méditerranée and Paul Cézanne. Today, Aix-Marseille University has 72,000 students, 10,000 international students, 7,500 faculty, administrative staff, researchers and engineers. There are five main campuses (Aix-en-Provence, Marseille Etoile, Marseille Centre, Timone and Luminy) and 120 student associations.

Aix-Marseille is constantly growing and opening up to a variety of disciplines, thus becoming a pole of worldwide reputation. It offers five main fields of study: Art, Literature, Languages, Human and Social Sciences; Law and Political Science; Economics and Management; Health Science; and Science and Technology. The university proposes 600-degree courses with 375 Erasmus and 300 bilateral agreements as well as 12 doctoral schools and 132 research units.

The Institut d'Études Humanitaires Internationales (IEHI) was established in 1993 within the Faculty of Law and Political Sciences. It offers a “Master 2” degree in humanitarian action and law, with four options (professional and research), which can be complemented by more technical training. The “Humanitarian Action and Law” option is one of the only legal humanitarian master degrees in France. It is also one of the rare humanitarian specialties with an international context culture, relevant legal standards and real field preparation. The Institut d’Études Humanitaires is a pillar of excellence in education recognised by the French State.
