Strasbourg, which was a humanism centre, has a long history of higher-education excellence, melting French and German intellectual traditions.
Although Strasbourg had been annexed by Royal France in 1683, it still remained connected to the German-speaking intellectual world throughout the 18th century.
The university attracted numerous students from the Holy Roman Empire with Goethe, Metternich and Montgelas, who studied law in Strasbourg, among the most prominent.

Nowadays, Strasbourg is known to offer among the best university courses in France, after Paris.
There are three universities in Strasbourg:
- Strasbourg I - Université Louis Pasteur
- Strasbourg II - Université Marc Bloch
- Strasbourg III - Université Robert Schuman
The campus of the École nationale d'administration (ENA) is located in Strasbourg (the former one being in Paris). The location of the "new" ENA - which trains most of the nation's high-ranking civil servants - was meant to give a European vocation to the school.
The École supérieure des Arts décoratifs (ESAD) is an art school of Europe-wide reputation.
The permanent campus of the International Space University (ISU) is located in the south of Strasbourg (Illkirch-Graffenstaden).
