Location in Paris

Pantheon-Sorbonne University (French: Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne), also known as La Sorbonne and Paris I, is a public research university in Paris, France. It was established in 1971 as one of the main inheritors of the historical University of Paris —colloquially referred to as the Sorbonne— after the cultural revolution of French May 1968, which resulted in the division of the world's second oldest academic institution. The university was created as a consolidation of a section of the Faculty of Law and Economics: Panthéon, and a section of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities: Sorbonne.[2][3]

Its focus is multidisciplinary, and has three main domains: Economic and Management Sciences, Human Sciences, and Legal and Political Sciences;[4] comprising several subjects such as: Economics, Law, Philosophy, Geography, Humanities, Cinema, Plastic arts, Art history, Political science, Mathematics, Management, and Social sciences.[5]

Its administrative headquarters are located in the Panthéon building. In addition, along with University of Paris III: Sorbonne Nouvelle, Paris-Sorbonne University, Paris Descartes University and Pierre and Marie Curie University, it is one of the five universities that occupies the main building of the former University of Paris at Latin Quarter, in the 5th and 6th arrondissements. Overall, its campus includes over 25 buildings in Paris, such as the Centre Pierre Mendès France, the Maison des Sciences Économiques, among others.[6] It is a member of the alliance called Hautes Études-Sorbonne-Arts et Métiers.

The university has the overall highest reputation —ex aequo— of all academic institutions in France according to The Times Higher Education World Reputation Rankings 2015.[7] It was also ranked 240th globally by the 2015/16 QS World University Rankings, being 1st in France in the subjects of History, Philosophy, Law, Geography, Art & Design, Economics & Econometrics, and Development Studies.

History

After the student protests of May and June 1968, thirteen universities succeeded to the University of Paris (Sorbonne University), which ceased to exist.

While Paris-Sorbonne University succedeed only the faculty of humanities of Sorbonne University,[8] Panthéon-Assas University only the faculty of law and economics[9] and Pierre and Marie Curie University only the faculty of sciences, Panthéon-Sorbonne University was founded on a wish for interdisciplinarity by bringing together disciplines. The name of the university show this interdisciplinarity: the Sorbonne building is the traditional seat of the Humanities studies in Paris (hence it is also used by Paris III and University Paris-Sorbonne), and the Panthéon building is, with the Assas building,[10] the traditional seat of the law studies (hence it is also used by Panthéon-Assas University).

Organisation and administration

The Pantheon-Sorbonne University is organized in several departments (unités de formation et de recherche) and institutes.

Departments

  • Economics.
  • Art History and Archaeology.
  • Art.
  • Management School.
  • Geography.
  • History.
  • Philosophy.
  • Political Science
  • Mathematics and Information Technology.
  • Law

Law Department

Not to be confused with Law schools, colleges and academies in France.
For other uses, see Sorbonne Law School and Law schools in France.

Panthéon-Sorbonne united in 2009 all legal studies in the university and gave that new department the name of École de droit de la Sorbonne ("Sorbonne Law School"), to compete the collège de droit of Panthéon-Assas University created in 2008. But whereas the name is the same, it is not a selective degree for top students of the university but the name of the law department of Panthéon-Sorbonne University. It is a merging of the departments of Public Law, Public Administration and Public Affairs, of Business Law, of International and European Studies and of General Law Studies, plus the Jean Domat Institute (preparation to Bar exam and Judge exam), and the Paris Insurance Institute (insurance law studies).

Institutes

  • Sorbonne Graduate Business School
  • Institute for the Study of Economic and Social Development (IEDES)
  • Paris Demography Institute (IDUP)
  • Institute for Research and Advanced Studies in Tourism (IREST)
  • Institute of Labour Studies (ISST)
  • Institute of Philosophy of Sciences and Techniques (IHPST).

Academics

Research

Research programs exist in economics, management and applied mathematics; in law and politics; in philosophy and the arts; in history, art history and archaeology; in geography, demography and sociology, to name but some. The eleven hundred members of faculty, 200 researchers who are attached to major research institutions, mainly the CNRS (National Center for Scientific Research), and 150 technical and administrative staff are grouped in 68 research groups recognised by the CNRS and the Ministry of Education and Research.

Every year around 400 PhD theses are defended and 1,700 pre-PhD post-graduate degrees are awarded in 74 subjects divided between 15 graduate schools.

Documentary resource centers

In Economics, the library at the Centre Pierre Mendès France offers students free access to its large collection.

In Law, the Cujas Library, co-administered with Panthéon-Assas, with its computerized documentation service, provides access to over 500 data banks and is the largest law and economics library in France.

In Humanities, The Sorbonne library, mostly administered by Paris Sorbonne University but open to Panthéon-Sorbonne students, has a collection of almost three million books, 100,000 of which are more than 200 years old, and 17,500 periodicals covering all the humanities. The library and map collection of the Geography Institute are the oldest such collection in France. In addition, the 400,000 volumes in the specialist libraries offer users one of the largest collections in France and Europe.

International

Panthéon-Sorbonne has signed over 150 conventions with foreign universities across five continents. These exchanges revolve around international networks such as Europaeum which bring together Oxford, London, Bologna, Bonn, Geneva, Helsinki, Leiden and Prague. The University of Paris I also heads a number of consortia which bring together French universities and professional organisations. The consortia are responsible for major international projects in Bucharest, Buenos Aires, Cairo, Istanbul (Galatasaray), and Moscow.

Every year some 130 academics from foreign universities come to teach and do research at the University of Paris I. Many researchers and members of faculty take part in major international research programs abroad; the University also hosts many annual international conferences. Six thousand international students, mainly from Europe, come to study as part of the SOCRATES or TEMPUS programmes. African students are joined by increasing numbers from Asia and America, and take part in specific programs organised in conjunction with universities across the world.

Dual and double degree programs

In Panthéon-Sorbonne too, students can apply for admission into one of the dual degree or double degree programs designed in conjunction with partner universities in France and abroad. Double degree programs confer two degrees to students, whereas dual degrees confer only a degree from the host university.
