University Lille 1 was established as Faculty of Science in 1854 in Lille, although its academic roots extend back to 1559. It later moved to Villeneuve d'Ascq in 1967. The University focuses on science and technology. Law, business management and medical fields are taught in the independent campus of Université de Lille II, while literature and social sciences are taught as part of the independent campus of Université de Lille III. Altogether, the three university in Lille include more than 70,000 students and are the main parts of the Community of Universities and Institutions (COMUE) Lille Nord de France.

At the beginning of 2018, the three universities (Lille 1, Lille 2, Lille 3) merged to form the University of Lille;[4] the UFRs of Lille 1 become Departments of the new Faculty of Science and Technology.
