Higher Education
The URCA (University of Rheims Champagne-Ardenne|Université de Reims Champagne-Ardenne) was created in 1548. This multidisciplinary university develops innovative, fundamental and applied research. It provides more than 18 000 students in Rheims (22 000 in Champagne-Ardenne) with a wide initial undergraduate studies program which corresponds to society’s needs in all domains of the knowledge. The university also accompanies independent or company backed students in continuing professional development training. The Institut d'Etudes politiques de Paris, the leading French university in social and political sciences, also known as Sciences Po, opened a new campus in the Collège des Jésuites de Reims in 2010. This Euro-American campus will welcome more than 1500 students in 2015. In 2012 will be launched the first Reims Model United Nations, which will gather 200 international students from all the Sciences Po campuses. Daniel Rondeau, Ambassadeur de France to the UNESCO and famous French writer, is the patron of the event. The Reims Management School is also one of the main schools in Reims.
