300 years anniversary of the University This year, the University of Burdundy celebrates its 300th anniversary! How about a flashback? Imagine that we are in 1722, when a law school was set up in the Dijon city centre; in the 19 th century, a few faculties were added, forming the university of Dijon, and in the 20 th century, the University expanded, covering the whole region and thus becoming the University of Burgundy.
