The original University of Bordeaux was established by the papal bull of Pope Eugene IV of 7 June 1441. The initiative for the creation of the university is attributed to Archbishop Pey Berland. The university originally was composed of four faculties: arts, medicine, law, and theology. The law faculty later split into faculties of civil law and canon law.
This university was disestablished in 1793, and then was refounded by the law of 10 July 1896.
Following the events of May 1968, the university was split into three universities: Bordeaux I, Bordeaux II, and Bordeaux III. In 1995[8], the University of Bordeaux I was split into two universities: the new Bordeaux I and Bordeaux IV.
