The Radboud University Nijmegen, formerly called University of Nijmegen is the university of the Dutch town 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 has been renamed Radboud University Nijmegen (RU) in 2004, after Saint Radbod, a Catholic bishop and scientist who lived around 900. The official ( Dutch) name was until 31 August, 2004 Katholieke Universiteit van Nijmegen (KUN), which literally means Catholic University of Nijmegen.
