History

• The university was founded in 1722 by King Louis XV, who established a University of Dijon with a single faculty of law in a city that was then the seat of a provincial parliament.该校由国王路易十五于 1722 年创办，最初的第戎大学仅设一个法学院，而当时的第戎还是省级法院所在地。
• The French Revolution abolished the old universities in 1793, and Dijon's faculties were closed during the radical phase of the Convention, so teaching continued only in isolated schools for more than a decade.法国大革命于 1793 年废除旧制大学，第戎的各学院在国民公会激进阶段被关闭，此后十余年教学仅在零星的学校中延续。
• Between 1805 and 1809 Napoleon added faculties of science, arts and medicine, rebuilding higher education in Dijon on the model of the imperial university, which divided France into academies and made Dijon the seat of one.1805 年至 1809 年间，拿破仑增设理学、文学与医学学院，按照帝国大学的模式在第戎重建高等教育，该模式把法国划分为多个学区，第戎成为其中一个学区的中心。
• The law of 1896 reunited these faculties as the University of Dijon, restoring a corporate university that combined law, letters, science and medicine under a single rector after decades of separate professional schools.1896 年的法律把这些学院重新合并为第戎大学，在数十年分散的专业学校之后恢复了法人大学，把法律、文学、理学与医学置于同一位校长之下。
• By the early twentieth century the university had faculties of law, letters, science and medicine, and its professors contributed to French intellectual life.到二十世纪初，该校已拥有法律、文学、理学与医学学院，其教授为法国思想生活作出贡献。
• In 1945, after the Second World War, the university expanded rapidly, adding new disciplines and enrolling growing numbers of students from Burgundy and beyond.1945 年第二次世界大战结束后，该校迅速扩张，增设新学科，来自勃艮第及以外的学生人数不断增长。
• In the second half of the twentieth century the university moved most of its activities to the Montmuzard campus, a large site on the eastern edge of Dijon.二十世纪下半叶，该校把大部分活动迁至蒙穆扎尔校区，这是第戎东郊的一片广阔场地。
• The student upheavals of 1968 and the subsequent Faure law reorganised French universities into autonomous institutions, and Dijon's faculties gained elected councils and greater control over the curriculum.1968 年的学生运动与随后的富尔法把法国大学重组为自治机构，第戎的各学院由此获得民选理事会与更大的课程自主权。
• In the 1980s the institution adopted the name University of Burgundy, replacing the older University of Dijon title in official use, following a wider trend of naming French universities after their regions rather than their cities.1980 年代，该校采用勃艮第大学之名，取代官方沿用的第戎大学旧称，这也顺应了法国大学以地区而非城市命名的大趋势。
• The Bologna process, launched in 1999, led Dijon to restructure its degrees into bachelor's, master's and doctoral cycles, with bachelor's degrees organised into six semesters and master's into four.1999 年启动的博洛尼亚进程促使第戎把学位重组为学士、硕士与博士三个阶段，学士学位分为六个学期，硕士分为四个学期。
