From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
The University of Nijmegen is the university of the Dutch town of Nijmegen. Official (Dutch) name: Katholieke Universiteit van Nijmegen (KUN), which literally means Catholic University of Nijmegen.
It was founded in 1923 as a result of the emancipation process of the catholics in the south of the Netherlands. Its catholic identity is still reflected by the obligatory philosophy course.
The university will be renamed Radboud University Nijmegen in 2004, after a Catholic bishop and scientist who lived around 900.
