It has 5 large campuses meeting international standards, and is spread over 9 major cities in 4 French departments. Its University Foundation A*Midex, which supports the IDEX, contributes to the development of a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary centre of world-class higher education and research.

AMU places interdisciplinarity at the heart of its strategy and training programmes. It has set up Interdisciplinary and Intersectoral Research Poles (PR2I), Territorial Innovation Poles (PIT), and access for economic actors to labelled technological platforms. The Aix-Marseille City of Innovation and Knowledge (CISAM) and 15 institutes strengthen the ties between research and education. A responsible and committed university, Aix-Marseille Université encourages the values of living together in harmony and makes its anti-discrimination and CSR policy a priority – something for which it has been distinguished in international rankings. Widely open to the world since its creation (10,000 international students and more than 40 diplomas in international partnership), the university has been awarded the European Commission’s call for projects to build “CIVIS, a European Civic University” with 8 European partners, contributing to the major societal challenges facing Africa and the Mediterranean in particular.
