Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne

Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne is one of France's foremost research universities in social sciences and humanities, ranked QS #289 globally (2025). Heir to the medieval Sorbonne tradition (parts of its curriculum trace to 1150), Paris 1 specializes in law, economics, management, political science, philosophy, and humanities — with a faculty that is consistently influential in French and European intellectual life. The university occupies iconic buildings in the Panthéon-Sorbonne complex of Paris's Latin Quarter, the historic center of European academic tradition.

For non-EU international students, Paris 1 charges €2,770–3,770/year. English-taught master's programs are available in international business law, economics, management, and European studies. The university's law and economics graduates are regularly recruited by French and European law firms, banks, and international organizations such as the EU institutions, UNESCO, and the UN. Paris 1 hosts more PhD students than almost any other French university in social sciences — reflecting its position as France's leading institution for humanistic and social scientific doctoral research.
