'''Utrecht University''' ('''UU'''; {{langx|nl|Universiteit Utrecht}}, formerly ''Rijksuniversiteit Utrecht'') is a [[public university|public]] [[research university]] in [[Utrecht, Netherlands]]. Established {{start date and age|1636|03|26|df=yes|p=yes}}, it is one of the oldest universities in the Netherlands. In 2024, it had an enrollment of 39,008 students, and employed 8,929 faculty members and staff.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |title=Facts and figures – Organisation – Utrecht University |url=https://www.uu.nl/en/organisation/profile/facts-and-figures |access-date=2023-03-25 |website=uu.nl |language=en}}</ref> More than 600 [[PhD]] degrees were awarded and 8,314 scientific articles were published. The university's 2024 budget was €2.9 billion, consisting of €1.258 billion for the university<ref name=":1" /> (income from work commissioned by third parties is 365 million euros) and €1.643 billion for the [[University Medical Center Utrecht]].<ref name="UCM Utrecht">{{cite web |url=https://annualreport.umcutrecht.nl/annual-report/our-finances/key-figures |title=UCM Utrecht |publisher=UCM Utrecht |access-date=2023-09-29}}</ref>

The university's interdisciplinary research targets life sciences, pathways to sustainability, dynamics of youth, and institutions for open societies. Utrecht University is led by the University Board, consisting of Wilco Hazeleger ([[Rector Magnificus]]), Anton Pijpers (chair), Margot van der Starre (Vice Chair) and Niels Vreeswijk (Student Assessor). Close ties are harboured with other institutions internationally through its membership in the [[Coimbra Group]] (CG), the [[League of European Research Universities]] (LERU), the [[Utrecht Network]] and the [[European University Association]] (EUA).

==History==

[[File:Portret van Bernardus Schotanus, RP-P-OB-16.079.jpg|thumb|right|upright|Bernardus Schotanus, the university's first [[rector magnificus]], and professor of law and mathematics]]

Utrecht University was founded on 26 March 1636.<ref name="History">{{cite web |url=https://www.uu.nl/en/organisation/about-us/tradition-and-history/history |title=The History of Utrecht University |publisher=Utrecht University |access-date=2020-05-31 |archive-date=22 June 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200622202143/https://www.uu.nl/en/organisation/profile/tradition-and-history/history |url-status=live }}</ref> It has its roots in the Illustrious School of Utrecht, founded two years earlier in 1634, which was elevated to the status of university in 1636. The influential professor of theology [[Gisbertus Voetius]] delivered the inaugural speech, and Bernardus Schotanus (professor of law and mathematics) became the university's first [[rector magnificus]]. [[Anna Maria van Schurman]], who became the university's first female student, was invited to write a Latin poem for the inauguration.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book |title=Women Classical Scholars: Unsealing the Fountain from the Renaissance to Jacqueline de Romilly |last=Frade |first=Sofia |publisher=Oxford University Press |year=2016 |isbn=9780198725206 |editor-last=Wyles |editor-first=Rosie |location=Oxford |chapter=Ménage's Learned Ladies: Anne Dacier (1647–1720) and Anna Maria van Schurman (1607–1678) |editor-last2=Hall |editor-first2=Edith |editor2-link=Edith Hall }}</ref> Initially, only a few dozen students attended classes at the university. Seven professors worked in four faculties: philosophy, which offered all students an introductory education, and three higher-level faculties (theology, medicine and law).

Utrecht University flourished in the seventeenth century, and contributed significantly to the [[Dutch Golden Age]], despite competition with the older universities, such as [[Leiden University|Leiden]] (1575) and [[University of Groningen|Groningen]] (1614). Leiden, in particular, proved a strong competitor and made further improvement necessary; a rivalry that persists to this day. A [[botanical garden]] was built on the grounds of the present [[Sonnenborgh Observatory]], and three years later the [[:nl:Bestand:Smeetoren Utrecht.jpg|Smeetoren]] added an astronomical observatory. The university attracted many students from abroad (especially from Germany, England and Scotland). They witnessed the intellectual and theological battle fought between proponents of the new philosophy ([[René Descartes]] lived for a few years in Utrecht) and proponents of the strict [[Reformed churches|Reformed]] theologian [[Gisbertus Voetius|Voetius]]. They also witnessed the teachings of renowned Dutch jurist, [[Johannes Voet]], a university alumnus and professor of law, whose works remain highly authoritative in modern [[Roman-Dutch law]].
[[File:RooseveltUtrecht1948.jpg|thumb|left|upright|An [[Honorary degree|honorary doctorate]] in law was conferred on [[Eleanor Roosevelt]] in 1948.]]
In 1806, the [[Kingdom of Holland|French occupying authorities of the Netherlands]] downgraded Utrecht University to an ''école secondaire'' (high school), but after the establishment of the [[United Kingdom of the Netherlands]] in 1813 it regained its former status.<ref name="History"/> Leiden, [[State University of Leuven|Leuven]], Groningen, Utrecht and [[Ghent University|Ghent]] were the five universities ({{langx|nl|hoge scholen}}) of the new state. Two of the universities (Leuven and Ghent) became part of the new [[Belgium|Belgian state]] after their respective provinces [[Belgian Revolution|separated]] from the [[United Kingdom of the Netherlands]] in 1830. As a result, Utrecht University remained one of only three Dutch universities. During the French occupation, [[Louis Bonaparte|King Louis Napoleon]] ordered the construction of a palace in the centre of Utrecht, which eventually became the University Library City Centre.<ref name="History"/>

Utrecht University played a prominent role in the golden age of Dutch science. Around 1850 the "Utrechtian School" of science formed, with [[Pieter Harting]], [[Gerardus J. Mulder]], [[Buys Ballot|Christophorus H. D. Buys Ballot]] and [[Franciscus Donders]] among the leading scientists. They introduced the educational laboratory (''onderwijslaboratorium'') as a practical learning place for their students. The National Veterinary School ([[Dutch language|Dutch]]: ''Rijks Veeartsenijschool'') became Utrecht University's Faculty of Veterinary Medicine in 1918.

As the university grew, the academic buildings in the historic city centre were unable to meet the university's increasing need for space. Therefore, starting from the 1960s, a significant part of the university moved to the [[De Uithof]] campus, which occupies the easternmost part of the city and is located south of [[De Bilt]]. However, the university continued to retain its academic buildings and presence in the historic city centre.

The university is represented in the ''[[Stichting Academisch Erfgoed]]'', a foundation with the goal of preserving the university's heritage and collections.

==Organisation==
[[File:Utrecht Academiegebouw.jpg|thumb|right|Utrecht University Hall (''{{interlanguage link|Academiegebouw|nl|Academiegebouw (Utrecht)}}''), built in 1894]]

The university consists of seven [[Faculty (division)|faculties]], which offer 58 undergraduate degree programmes and over 150 graduate programmes.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.uu.nl/en/organisation/governance-and-organisation/faculties |title=Faculties – Organisation |publisher=Utrecht University |access-date=2017-09-03 |archive-date=26 September 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170926235055/https://www.uu.nl/en/organisation/governance-and-organisation/faculties |url-status=live }}</ref>

There are also three interfaculty units:

*[[University College Roosevelt]]
*Centre for Education and Learning (COLUU)

==Campus==

The two large faculties of Humanities and Law & Governance are situated in the inner city of Utrecht. The other five faculties and most of the administrative services are located in [[Uithof|Utrecht Science Park De Uithof]], a campus area on the outskirts of the city. University College Utrecht, along with the Utrecht School of Economics, are situated in the former Kromhout Kazerne, which used to be a Dutch military base. University College Roosevelt is located off-campus in the city of [[Middelburg, Zeeland|Middelburg]] in the south-west of the Netherlands.
