The university is based in Pau, a city in southwestern France. Pau is an old royal city set between the Pyrenees Mountains and the Atlantic Ocean.

The university is organised into three colleges: the college of sciences and technology for energy and environment, the college of social science and the humanities, and the college of European and international studies. Each college consists of two levels: undergraduate studies and graduate studies, research and innovation. 
There are 24 research units at the university that carry out research in the following areas: environment and material, geo-resources, aquatic environments and resources, justice and territories, and areas, borders and blending.
