The University of Picardie Jules Verne (UPJV), established in 1969, is a multidisciplinary institution with 20 training centers spanning various fields such as Arts, Literature and Languages, Law, Economics and Management, Humanities and Social Sciences, Science, Technology and and Health.

With 32,000 students from undergraduate to doctoral levels, UPJV is headquartered in Amiens (within the Hauts-de-France) and operates across six main campuses located in Amiens, Beauvais, Cuffies-Soissons, Saint-Quentin, Creil, and Laon to meet local needs.
