The three Universities of Aix-Marseille, situated in Aix-en-Provence and Marseille for over five centuries, are the successors to the original establishments created in the region during the 19th century. Combined, they welcome over 70,000 students per year, 10% of whom are foreign students.
The universities try not to compete for students, rather, they offer expertise in different domains. Arts and Social Sciences are pursued at the Université de Provence Aix-Marseille I; Health, Sport and Economics at the Université de la Méditerranée Aix-Marseille II; Law, Political Sciences, Applied Economics and Business Management at the Université Paul Cézanne Aix-Marseille III. The Exact Sciences, notably Mathematics, Physics, Astrophysics, Chemistry, Biology, Geology, Environmental Studies and Engineering, are spread throughout the three Universities.
