The Lorraine region was already an independent duchy in the Northeast of France when it created its university in 1572. Throughout History, the region was divided several times into a "French" part and a "German" part, before being reunited and definitely included in France in the beginning of the 20th century. Because of this complex and rich history, two large cities developed: Metz in the North and Nancy in the South.
In Nancy, three universities were founded in the 20th century, among which a National Polytechnic Institute that combined several engineering schools. In Metz, the first university appeared in 1970.
On January 1st, 2012, after several years of preparation, these four universities merged into one, forming Université de Lorraine. The university has over 50 000 students, close to 6 800 staff members, among which 3 700 teachers and searchers, and many buildings and campuses distributed in the entire region.
