Vaucluse

Because adopting the University of Avignon means benefiting from a quality education in a human-sized establishment. The Department of Vaucluse considers that it is essential to guarantee you optimal and equitable study conditions, to facilitate your student life, to give you access to culture and sport and to accompany you when you enter working life.

A young department on the move

With a young and dynamic population, the Vaucluse has one of the highest rates of demographic growth in France. Nearly 25% of Vaucluse residents are under 16 years old.
The Department has brought together all its partners to create the conditions for a sustainable Vaucluse. The aim is to support the economic development that is essential to provide employment for a larger population, to increase the fluidity of transport and the openness of our department while restoring the quality and balance of urban, natural and agricultural areas.

Enter the economic world
