History

• The university traces its origin to the University of Douai, founded in 1559 in the Spanish Netherlands with faculties of theology, law, medicine and arts.该校源头可追溯至 1559 年在西属尼德兰创办的杜埃大学，设神学、法律、医学与文学四个学院。

• A separate Catholic university, distinct from the state faculties, was also founded in Lille in 1875, so the city long hosted both a public and a private Catholic institution.1875 年，一所与国家学院相区别的天主教大学亦在里尔创办，因此该城长期并存公立与私立天主教两类院校。
• In 1896 the faculties of letters, sciences, law and medicine were combined into the single University of Lille, which then became the largest university centre in northern France.1896 年文学、理学、法律与医学四个学院合并为单一的里尔大学，此后即成为法国北部规模最大的大学中心。
