Why Sorbonne University stands out
Sorbonne University is a public research university in the heart of Paris, created in 2018 from the merger of Paris-Sorbonne and Pierre and Marie Curie universities. It brings together three faculties covering arts and humanities, science and engineering, and health, so students can study in a broad academic community in one of Europe’s great university cities. The university runs an International Welcome Desk that supports international students with visas, housing, health cover and settling in.
What you can study
Students can choose bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral programmes in the sciences, engineering, health and medicine, law, the social sciences and the arts and humanities. Many master’s programmes are taught in English, while most bachelor’s programmes are taught in French and require a good level of French. The course catalogue on the official website lists every programme with its language of teaching and entry rules.
International admissions
International students can apply to Sorbonne University, and the route depends on nationality and country of residence. Applicants from countries covered by the Etudes en France procedure apply through that system, while others use the national Parcoursup platform for first-year bachelor’s entry or the university’s own application routes for later years. Check the official admissions page for the procedure that applies to you and the documents required.
