The University of Antananarivo ( Malagasy Oniversiten'Antananarivo , French Université d'Antananarivo ) in Antananarivo is the most important public university of Madagascar . It was founded on December 16, 1955 as the University of Madagascar and has been called " Université d'Antananarivo " since 1960 . It is subordinate to the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research ( French: Ministère de l'Enseignement Supérieur et de la Recherche Scientifique, Madagascar ) (as of 2016).

The campus ( Campus Ambohitsaina ) on the eastern edge of the capital, which has been in existence since 1988, has a diameter of 750 meters and is surrounded by a ring road. About half of the site has been built up so far. The university has two other main locations, the Soavinandriana annex in the Maison de l'Innovation ( Soavinandriana , Itasy region ) and the Antsirabe annex in Antsirabe .

Four faculties have their headquarters in Antananarivo . These are the Faculties of Law, Economics and Sociology , Social Science and Literature , Medicine and Technical Sciences . While the university was ranked 49th among the best African universities in 2014, it was only 85th in 2016.

There is a library and an archive in the university. The library was established in 1960. In 1988, as part of a structural reform of the higher education system in the main towns of the Malagasy regions, branch offices ( Centers Universitaires Régionaux ) of the library were set up. Since 2010 this institution has been called Bibliothèque et Archives Universitaires .

The university’s printed bulletin board is called Akon 'Ambohitsaina. Le Journal de l'Université d 'Antananarivo (formerly: Bitsik Ambohitsaina )
