Université catholique de Lille

The Université catholique de Lille , also « University and Polytechnic Federation of Lille » is a private collegiate university of Catholic-inspired institutions established in 1875. The university comprises five faculties, 20 schools and institutes, research centers, and a hospital, with a cumulative student body of 36,700 in 2021. Although an article of the French Code of Education prohibits private institutes from calling themselves “Universities”, the federation calls itself “Université catholique de Lille" or "Catholic University of Lille”. It is under this name that it improperly communicates, both in France and abroad. It should not be confused with the University of Lille.
