Pantheon-Sorbonne University (French: Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne), also known as Paris 1, is a multidisciplinary 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.
Pantheon-Sorbonne is multidisciplinary, and has three main domains: Economic and Management Sciences, Human Sciences, and Legal and Political Sciences; comprising several subjects such as: Economics, Law, Philosophy, Geography, Humanities, Cinema, Plastic arts, Art history, Political science, Mathematics, Management, and Social sciences.
Pantheon-Sorbonne's headquarters is located on the Place du Panthéon in the Latin Quarter, an area in the 5th and the 6th arrondissements of Paris. The university also occupies part of the historical Sorbonne campus. Overall, its campus includes over 25 buildings in Paris, such as the Centre Pierre Mendès France, the Maison des Sciences Économiques, among others.
In 2018, Pantheon-Sorbonne was globally ranked 209th (9th of France) by QS World University Rankings, 501-600th (25th of France) by The Times Higher Education and 1010th (54th of France) by US News. By world reputation, it was ranked 71-80th (2nd of France) in 2017 by THE.
It was also ranked by the 2018 QS Rankings by Subject as being 1st in France in Archaeology, History, Law, Philosophy, Geography, Anthropology, and 1st ex aequo in France in Economics & Econometrics.
The historic University of Paris (French: Université de Paris) first appeared in the second half of the 12th century, but was reorganised in 1970 as 13 autonomous universities after the student protests of the French May. Following months of conflict between students and authorities at the University of Paris at Nanterre, the administration shut down that university on May 2, 1968. Students of the University of Paris protested the closure and the threatened expulsion of several students at Nanterre on May 3, 1968. After the student protests of May and June 1968, thirteen universities succeeded to the University of Paris (nicknamed "the Sorbonne"), which ceased to exist.
