Located at the heart of a world capital city, Université de Paris is a fully comprehensive university.

With its exact and experimental sciences, broad and well-established human and social sciences and a strong tradition of work at the interface of disciplines, Université de Paris is completely multidisciplinary, in terms of both training and research. The institution is particularly visible in two areas: earth sciences, with the IPGP, a major player in France and internationally in this field, and medicine, and more broadly biology and health.

Université de Paris is a unique university community based on strong values:

• freedom of thought in study, teaching and research, which is reflected in the development of critical thinking, curiosity and creativity;
• the service of society and the general interest;
• openness to the world, the city and the immediate environment;
• respect and promotion of the well-being of everyone within the human community that is the university;
• scientific integrity.

Building on the past and looking toward the future, Université de Paris includes the prestigious heritage of the Latin Quarter with the more contemporary architecture of the new Paris Rive Gauche district, which is perfectly integrated into its urban environment.

Its strategic portfolio of academic partners around the world enables it to offer its students cutting-edge and innovative training courses, ranging from bachelor's to doctoral level, and spread over its three faculties: Health, Science and Society and Humanities.

The excellence of its laboratories, associated with French national research organizations (CNRS, INSERM, CEA, INRIA, INRIA, Institut Pasteur and IRD), makes it a major player in international research. It has more than 30 international laboratories in the fields of health, science and technology, humanities and social sciences, humanities and languages.

Key figures :

• 61,000 students
• 4500 researchers and teacher-researchers
• 3000 administrative and technical staff

Born in 2019 from the merger of the universities of Paris Diderot, Paris Descartes and Institut de physique du globe de Paris, the ambition of Université de Paris is to lead and develop an exceptional potential to meet the challenges of tomorrow’s society and promote French excellence in Europe and around the world.
