Université de Franche-Comté, commonly called UFC or the University of Besançon, is a public pluridisciplinary university of eastern France based in Besançon, founded at Dole in 1423. It is one of the oldest universities in France and since 1 January 2025 continues as the Université Marie et Louis Pasteur.弗朗什-孔泰大学通称 UFC，又被称为贝桑松大学，是法国东部一所多科性公立大学，校本部设在贝桑松；它 1423 年创建于多勒，是法国最古老的大学之一，2025 年 1 月 1 日起以玛丽与路易-巴斯德大学之名延续办学。

The university teaches about 29,000 students, close to one third of them state scholarship holders and about 12 per cent foreign, across four Besançon sites and decentralized campuses in Belfort, Montbéliard, Vesoul and Lons-le-Saunier.全校在读学生约 29,000 人，近三分之一领取国家助学金，约 12% 来自国外；办学网络包括贝桑松城中四处校区以及贝尔福、蒙贝利亚尔、维苏勒、隆勒索涅四个分散校区。

History

• The university was founded at Dole in 1423 under Duke Philippe le Bon of Burgundy, when Franche-Comté still belonged to the Burgundian state, and its first centuries were organized around theology, law and medicine.大学于 1423 年在多勒创立，由勃艮第公爵好人菲利普奠基，其时弗朗什-孔泰尚属勃艮第国家；早期教学围绕神学、法律与医学展开。

• By 1562 the Dole university had 268 registered students, of whom 223 came from abroad, mostly from the Netherlands and the Belgian lands, making it one of the earliest French universities with a large foreign intake.到 1562 年，多勒大学已有在册学生 268 人，其中 223 人来自国外，主要为荷兰与比利时地区学生，是法国最早大规模招收外国学生的大学之一。

• In 1691 the university was uprooted: Dole had resisted too long against King Louis XIV during his conquest of the region, so the king stripped the town of its capital status and transferred the university to Besançon.1691 年大学被迫迁址：多勒在路易十四征服弗朗什-孔泰期间抵抗过久，国王遂剥夺其省城地位，把大学迁往贝桑松。

• In its new home the university settled in the Carmelite convent on the Grande Rue, and Louis XIV promised that Besançon would keep the only university in both Burgundies, the duchy and the county alike.迁入新址后，大学进驻大圣马路旁的加尔默罗修道院；路易十四承诺贝桑松将独享勃艮第公国与伯爵领地两地的大学席位。

• The pledge did not outlive its author: eight years after Louis XIV died in 1715, a faculty of canon and civil law opened in Dijon in 1723, ending Besançon's monopoly of legal teaching in the two Burgundies.承诺未能久长：路易十四 1715 年去世八年后，第戎于 1723 年开设教会法与世俗法学院，贝桑松对两地法学教育的垄断就此终结。

• The region also produced its greatest scientist: Louis Pasteur was born in Dole on 27 December 1822, and three centuries after the foundation his name, together with his wife's, was given to the university.这片土地也孕育了该校最伟大的科学家：路易·巴斯德 1822 年 12 月 27 日生于多勒；创校三个世纪后，大学以他与夫人的名字命名。

• Pasteur was formed in the Besançon académie: he studied locally in the early 1840s, took up a teaching post in Besançon in 1844 and left for the Strasbourg chemistry chair in 1848, keeping lifelong links with the town.巴斯德的学业与教学生涯均与贝桑松学区渊源深厚：他 19 世纪 40 年代初在本地求学，1844 年起在贝桑松任教，1848 年赴斯特拉斯堡执掌化学教席，终生与该市保持联系。

• The modern university's most famous specialty was launched in 1958, when the Centre for Applied Linguistics opened in Besançon and grew into one of the world's leading centres for teaching French to foreigners.现代大学最负盛名的品牌始于 1958 年：应用语言学中心在贝桑松创立，日后成长为世界首屈一指的外国法语教学中心。

• After the Second World War student numbers soared, and from 1962 a new science campus was built at La Bouloie while the letters faculty spread through the centre-ville between rue Mégevand and rue Chifflet.二战后学生人数激增：1962 年起在拉布卢瓦兴建新理科校区，文学院则在梅格旺街与希夫莱街之间的城区扩展。

• Besançon recovered its own legal teaching in 1964, when a university college of law was created, at first under the scientific supervision of the Dijon faculty of law.1964 年贝桑松重获本校法学教育：法律大学学院成立，初期由第戎法学院提供学术监管。

• In the reorganization of French higher education that followed the May 1968 student revolt, the Besançon establishments were grouped into a full university in 1969, long known simply as Besançon University.1968 年 5 月学潮后法国高等教育改组，贝桑松各校于 1969 年整合为完整大学，长期通称贝桑松大学。

• Seven years later, in 1976, it took the name Université de Franche-Comté, matching a mission that by then reached beyond Besançon to Belfort, Montbéliard, Vesoul and Lons-le-Saunier.七年后的 1976 年，学校改名弗朗什-孔泰大学；此时其办学版图已越出贝桑松，延伸至贝尔福、蒙贝利亚尔、维苏勒与隆勒索涅。

• Recorded presidents of the regional university include the law professor Jean Thiébaut and the ancient historian Pierre Lévêque. Today Hugues Daussy serves as president and Nathalie Albert-Moretti as chancellor.有档案记录的历任校长包括法学教授让·蒂耶博与古代史家皮埃尔·勒韦克；现任校长为雨格·多西，名誉校长为娜塔莉·阿尔贝-莫雷蒂。

• The university later became the core of the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté community of universities and institutions, COMUE UBFC, an IDEX-labelled excellence grouping that coordinated doctoral schools and engineering policy in the region.此后学校成为勃艮第-弗朗什-孔泰大学共同体 UBFC 的核心；该共同体获法国“卓越大学”计划标签，统筹区域博士培养与工程师政策。

• The 2025 naming honors Louis Pasteur, born in Dole in 1822, and Marie Pasteur, née Laurent, whom he married in 1852 and who seconded his experiments and preserved his laboratory notebooks.此次命名致敬 1822 年生于多勒的路易·巴斯德及其夫人玛丽·巴斯德——玛丽娘家姓洛朗，1852 年成婚，协助丈夫实验并保存其实验记录。

• Dole, the founding town, never fully lost its academic function: almost six centuries after 1423 it again hosts university teaching near the birthplace house of Pasteur.创校之地多勒从未完全失去学术功能：距 1423 年近六个世纪之后，这里重新设有大学教学点，巴斯德故居即在城中。

• Taken together — 1423 at Dole, 1691 to Besançon, 1969 refoundation, 1976 renaming and 2025 relaunch — the institution claims one of the longest continuous university histories in France.纵观其史：1423 年创于多勒、1691 年迁贝桑松、1969 年重建为大学、1976 年更名、2025 年再度启程，该校堪称法国延续最久的大学之一。
