Utrecht University: Facts & Figures Though Utrecht University (formerly Rijksuniversiteit Utrecht) is now one of the largest in Europe, when it was founded in 1636, there were only seven professors and four departments: philosophy, theology, medicine and law. Only a few dozen students were enrolled. Through the seventeenth century the school flourished, despite competition with Leiden, Groningen, and Amsterdam, among others. In fact, the competition spurred many improvements, including a botanical garden and astronomical observatory. The university attracted many students from abroad, especially Germany, England and Scotland. In 1806, Utrecht University was downgraded to an école secondaire (high school) by the French occupants of the Netherlands, but after the Kingdom of the Netherlands was established in 1813 it regained its original status. Numbers: Total students enrolled (2011): 30,174 International students (2011): 1.786 (6% of student population) Foreign student breakdown: EU: 1,234 students Non-EU: 552 Contact:
