History of the University

The Sorbonne University was created at the very beginning of the 13th century, the College de Sorbon in 1252. Alongside Oxford and Bologna, la Sorbonne is one of the oldest universities in the world.

Thus began an intellectual adventure that was to make France so influential. It was in 1200 that Philippe-Auguste drafted the first official document which gave formal recognition to the University of Paris. In 1231 the importance of the University of Paris was proclaimed in the papal bull Parens Scientarum Est (-mother of the sciences-). " La Sorbonne" is considered since then as one of the most prestigious universities in the world.

By the end of the 13th century the influence of the University of Paris was unparalleled, and its contribution to canon law and Christian theology considerable. Its reputation continued to spread and the great of this world, some of whom were to become Vice-Chancellor, became involved in the university.

Despite its support for the French Revolution in 1789, the university was closed for thirteen years until Napoleon formally reinstated it.

During the 19th century, The university gradually adopted the shape and form that we know today (with the exception of the chapel which goes back to Richelieu's time, the university underwent major reconstruction work from 1885 to 1901).

For centuries this temple of knowledge have formed many nobel prices, philosophers, popes, and states leaders in Europe and all over the world.

During the 20th century, as a result of the many conflicts between ancients and moderns, new disciplines gradually found a place in this prestigious temple of learning. As the university expanded, more and more reforms were introduced.

After the ideological, cultural and social fever which took hold of France in May and June 1968, a new university scene emerged; the law of November 12 1968 instituted autonomous, pluridisciplinary universities.

The University of Paris 1 combined an illustrious past and incomparable experience with the profound wish for change to produce an original academic project bringing together the humanities, law and economics. To the most highly reputed traditional degree courses in France in history, geography, philosophy, art history, economics, law and political science, new disciplines were gradually added, including the visual arts, mathematics applied to social sciences, business management, tourism, culture and communications.
