Located not in Rouen, but in the suburb of Mont-Saint-Aignan (a "township" in the Normandy region), the University of Rouen Normandy opened in 1966 as an off-shoot of the University of Caen.

It is a large public university with over 25,000 students enrolled.

Nearby apartments are available and booked through the state agency CROUS.

[6][7] The University of Rouen Normandy takes part in the XL-Chem Graduate School of Research[8] project, funded by the State via the National Research Agency.
