• While Bordeaux was under English rule, the university had four faculties of arts, medicine, law and theology, each directed by a dean appointed by the minister and a faculty council of titular professors, allowing students of the Duchy of Aquitaine to study locally.在波尔多处于英格兰统治之下时，这所大学设有文艺、医学、法学与神学四个学院，各学院由部长任命的院长与由正式教授组成的院务委员会管理，使阿基坦公国的学子得以就地求学。

• When Bordeaux returned to the French kingdom in 1453 at the end of the Hundred Years' War, the university came under royal power but struggled to compete with the more prestigious Toulouse and Montpellier.1453 年百年战争结束、波尔多重归法兰西王国后，大学转由王室管辖，却难以与更具声望的图卢兹和蒙彼利埃竞争。

• Michel de Montaigne, later the celebrated essayist, studied at Toulouse and Montpellier rather than Bordeaux, and in response other institutions such as the Collège de Guyenne, known in English as Guyenne College, and the Bordeaux Academy of Sciences, Letters and Arts were founded in the city.日后声名卓著的随笔作家米歇尔·德·蒙田当年选择就读图卢兹与蒙彼利埃而非波尔多，作为回应，居耶纳公学（英文称 Guyenne College）与波尔多科学、文学与艺术研究院等机构在城中相继创立。

• In 1793 the university disappeared along with all French universities, suppressed by a decision of the National Convention.1793 年，国民公会下令撤销，波尔多大学与其他法国大学一同消失。

• Napoleon Bonaparte re-established the concept of the university in 1806, and in Bordeaux the faculty of theology was recreated in 1808, followed by the faculties of letters and sciences in 1838.1806 年拿破仑·波拿巴重建大学制度，波尔多的神学院于 1808 年恢复，文学院与理学院则于 1838 年重建。
