Abstract
The University of Caen reveals itself to be a regional university from both apolitical and a corporative perspective. From its foundation in 1432, the prose of the Studium was to seive the political interests of the English government in the ducky of Normandy. The financial burden of its establishment did not rest with the city. The surrounding bailliages and dioceses, which provided the majority of the students, contributed to the building of the institution. The geographic recruiting area was essentially regional, making Caen a Norman university. Moreover, the university concaved itself as a regional institution by occupying an extensive jurisdictional and cultural space in the duchy. Displaying its academic services and privileges throughout Norman territory, the university intended to be the principal force behind the diffusion of learned culture in Normandy.
