Paris-Sorbonne University (also known as Paris IV; French: Université Paris-Sorbonne, Paris IV), was a public research university in Paris, France, from 1971 to 2017.
Overview
Paris IV was one of the inheritors of the Faculty of Humanities of the University of Paris[1] (also known as the Sorbonne), which ceased to exist following student protests in May 1968. As such, it is a successor of the Sorbonne, whose original focus was humanities.[2] It is a member of the Sorbonne University Group and has been merged into the Sorbonne University on 1 January 2018.[3][4]

Seven of the campuses are situated in the historic Latin Quarter, including the historic Sorbonne university building, and three in the Marais, Malesherbes and Clignancourt respectively. Paris-Sorbonne also houses France's prestigious communication and journalism school, CELSA, located in the Parisian suburb of Neuilly-sur-Seine, maintains about 400 international agreements.
As a successor of the faculty of humanities ("faculté des lettres") of the University of Paris, it is 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, Panthéon-Assas University and Pierre-and-Marie-Curie University.[4] This group allows Paris-Sorbonne University students to study sciences, law and political sciences in several Dual Degrees.
