Claude Bernard University Lyon 1 (Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1, UCBL) is a major French public research university based in the Lyon metropolitan area. Named after physiologist Claude Bernard, it was created in 1971 when the historic University of Lyon was reorganized into specialized institutions. It is one of France’s largest science- and health-focused universities, covering exact sciences, technology, life and earth sciences, medicine, pharmacy, and sports sciences, with strong ties to Lyon’s hospitals, research organizations (including CNRS and Inserm), and industry. Teaching and research are spread across several urban campuses, notably La Doua in Villeurbanne (sciences and technology), Rockefeller and Lyon-Sud (health), and other sites in and around Lyon. Lyon 1 is known for large undergraduate and graduate enrollments, extensive laboratory infrastructure, and a significant international student and research community. It participates in the Université de Lyon academic consortium and offers programs from bachelor’s through doctoral level, including selective medical and engineering-related pathways.
