The University of Poitiers organizes its training around 5 major thematic fields, divided into 14 training and research units (UFR / faculties), schools and institutes.

This field leads students towards careers related to the creation, organization and management of economic activities of any kind.

The Science and Technology field brings together all the scientific courses at the University of Poitiers with the exception of those dedicated to the study of life, sport and health.

This field covers all the courses offered by the University of Poitiers in Life Sciences, Sports Sciences, Medicine and Pharmacy. The courses provided by the 3 schools in this field are complementary, leading students towards distinct professional sectors: medical, paramedical and pharmaceutical professions for the Medicine and Pharmacy College, sports and physical activity professions for the Sports Sciences College, environmental professions for the Fundamental and Applied Sciences College.

This field is shared between two colleges, the Literature and Languages “UFR” and the Humanities and Arts “UFR”, which share a conceptual and practical approach to the different aspects of human and social realities. Their professionalizing focus is on teaching and research, culture, information and communication, health and social sectors, as well as the commercial sector.

This field aims to provide students with the knowledge and skills to work in the field of teaching, education and training.
