Institution Profile
 

The Paris-Sorbonne University is the largest institution in France focusing on the Humanities, and more particularly Classical Studies.

To a large extent, the Université de Paris-Sorbonne (Paris IV) was the inheritor of the former University of Paris’ Arts and Sciences Faculties. The initiatives have been aimed at promoting the cultural heritage of the Sorbonne, with a focus on disciplines in the literary and human science fields.
