By joining two leading universities* at the centre of Paris, an exceptional centre of knowledge has been recreated under the world-renowned Sorbonne name. Sorbonne University is a world-class research university, presenting the comprehensive disciplinary range of arts, humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, engineering and medicine. Sorbonne University is at the crossroads of diverse types of knowledge and capable of responding to the intellectual and scientific challenges of the 21st century. The University offers its 53,400 students the best educational opportunities for the success of each of their personal and professional projects, through monodisciplinary, bi-disciplinary and interdisciplinary programs. Close to 10,200 of its students are international and 4,400 are in doctoral programs. With its three main faculties, it offers varied and original opportunities across disciplines. Sorbonne University research draws on more than 3,400 professor-researchers and another 3,100 research partners from the major French research organisations, working side by side in more than 130 laboratories. In addition to Nobel Prizes, Fields Medals and other awards, the university has exceptional transdisciplinary institutes and is also the headquarters for the European Marine Biological Research Centre. International co-operation is expanded at Sorbonne University because it is more comprehensive, enabling its students, academic staff and researchers to increase their exchanges with the rest of the world. * Paris-Sorbonne and Pierre & Marie Curie Universities
