History

A first university existed between the 12th century and the end of the 15th century with Billom, close to Clermont, cash to 2000 students. At the beginning of the 16th century, the bishop of Clermont Thomas Duprat installs a university with Issoire. The King institutes the university in February 1519, but following the protests of Charles of Bourbon and the Université of Paris, it is closed in 1520. In 1681, the King authorizes the creation of a college of medicine in Clermont. The faculty of letters is created in 1808, inaugurated in May 1810 in the hospital of Charitains (demolished in 1906), but it is removed with the Restauration in September 1815.

During the Second world war, the university clermontoise accommodated the pupils and professors of the university of Strasbourg, fleeing the German occupation. The university was touched also hard: the November 25th 1943, the buildings are encircled by Gestapo, with the order to stop the seniors, the foreign students and those originating in Alsace-Lorraine being able to have a bond with the resistance. Nearly 50 students and professors are stopped, and Paul Collomp, a professor of the faculty of letters, is even cut down of a shot.

Strong in particular political divergences intervened in the application of the reform of 1969 (Loi Faure) but it is only in 1976 that the single university clermontoise was divided into two distinct establishments, Clermont II recovering the letters, the social sciences as well as the Exact sciences, the natural and the Technologie, the University Clermont I preserving as for it the Droit, the economy, the Médecine and a IUT.

After the scission, the relations between the two universities were timid even non-existent, but the situation gradually improved. Today, the two establishments approached appreciably and collaborate on some formations. A creation project of CLOSE (pole of research and higher education) is being studied. It could take the form of a EPCS, gathering 14 actors of higher education and research in Auvergne.
