Overview

Sorbonne University was formed in 2018 by merging Paris-Sorbonne University and Pierre and Marie Curie University; both trace their lineage to the Collège de Sorbonne, founded in 1257. Most bachelor's programmes are taught in French. Tuition follows France's national public-university rate, which is the same for domestic and international students at public universities (some grandes écoles charge differently).

Duration

Typical length for a European Bologna-system bachelor's degree (180 ECTS credits) — this is an approximate guide, not independently verified per programme. Some professional or engineering programmes run 3.5-4 years, so confirm your specific programme's length with the university.
Accreditation

DEQAR lookup for this institution has not been run yet.

Registration with EQAR is voluntary. An institution’s absence from DEQAR does not by itself mean it is unaccredited — a “not yet checked” badge means exactly that, never a warning.

Student residence permits issued in France

Eurostat migr_resedu ingestion for France is not built yet.

No approval rate is published for any European country. Eurostat's migr_resedu dataset reports permits issued by citizenship, not applications refused — there is no denominator, so no approval or rejection percentage exists in the source data. When this section goes live it will show volume and trend for your nationality only.

Sorbonne University introduced partial exemptions from this differentiated rate starting 2025, which could make the amount actually charged lower than the national published rate — confirm the current rate directly with Sorbonne's admissions office. Most bachelor's programmes require French proficiency (DELF/DALF); English-taught bachelor's options are rare at this institution.
Estimated cost of living in Paris

Estimated, not verified
One of Europe's most expensive cities to live in — rent alone typically accounts for over half this figure.
This is a rough planning ballpark, not a sourced, verified figure like the tuition above — there is no single official database for per-city student living costs. Your actual spending depends heavily on housing choice, lifestyle, and exchange-rate movement. Adjust it yourself in the full cost calculator →
