Paris-Sorbonne University was one of the inheritors of the Faculty of Humanities (French: Faculté des lettres) of the University of Paris[1] (also known as the Sorbonne), which ceased to exist following student protests in May 1968. The Faculty of Humanities was the main focus of the University of Paris, and subsequently Paris-Sorbonne University was one of its main successors.[2] It was a member of the Sorbonne University Group.

Paris-Sorbonne University enrolled about 24,000 students in 20 departments specialising in arts, humanities and languages, divided in 12 campuses throughout Paris. Seven of the campuses were situated in the historic Latin Quarter, including the historic Sorbonne university building, and three in the Marais, Malesherbes and Clignancourt respectively. In addition, the university also maintained one campus in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, called Sorbonne University Abu Dhabi. Paris-Sorbonne University also comprised France's prestigious communication and journalism school, CELSA, located in the Parisian suburb of Neuilly-sur-Seine. Paris-Sorbonne University maintained about 400 international agreements.

As a successor of the faculty of humanities of the University of Paris, it was a founding member the Sorbonne University group, an alliance with the successor of the faculty of law and economics and of the faculty of science of the University of Paris (respectively, Panthéon-Assas University and Pierre-and-Marie-Curie University).[3] This group allowed Paris-Sorbonne University students to pursue several dual degrees. Two graduate certificates in law from Panthéon-Assas University (Sorbonne Law School) were accessible for all the student members of the Sorbonne University group.[4]
