Editing Sorbonne University (section)

==Organization==
Members have worked on several projects to strengthen the relations between them and potentially create a new international institution. The most famous projects are :

* the "Sorbonne College" (Collège des Licences de la Sorbonne) for bachelor's degrees, 
* the "Sorbonne Faculty of Arts and Humanities", "Sorbonne Faculty of Health" and the "Sorbonne Faculty of Sciences" for graduate students,
* and the "Sorbonne Doctoral College" (Collège doctoral de la Sorbonne) for PhD students.

===The Sorbonne College===
Since 2014, the Sorbonne College for bachelor's degrees ("Collège des Licences de la Sorbonne") has been coordinating the academic projects of Sorbonne University with [[University of Paris II Panthéon-Assas|Panthéon-Assas University]], the law school of the Sorbonne University Group which has not merged into the Sorbonne University and remained independent. It also offers cross-institutional academic courses in many fields, allowing students to graduate from both institutions. For example, some cross-institutional bachelor's degrees ("double licences") are proposed to students in :
*Science and History (Sorbonne)
*Science and Musicology (Sorbonne)
*Science and Philosophy (Sorbonne)
*Science and Chinese (Sorbonne)
*Science and German (Sorbonne)
*Law and History (Panthéon-Assas / Sorbonne)
*Law and Art History (Panthéon-Assas / Sorbonne)
*Law and Science (Panthéon-Assas / Sorbonne)
*History and Media (Sorbonne / Panthéon-Assas)<ref>{{cite web|website=Éléad|title=Les cursus sélectifs des grandes universités parisiennes, les doubles licences|date=3 January 2021|url=http://elead.fr/cursus-selectifs-grandes-universites-parisiennes/|access-date=27 December 2017|archive-date=25 November 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171125083655/http://elead.fr/cursus-selectifs-grandes-universites-parisiennes/|url-status=live}}</ref>

As it is the case in the Anglo-American university system, Sorbonne University proposes a major-minor system, that is currently being deployed at the university.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://orientation.blog.lemonde.fr/2013/05/21/la-sorbonne-universite-delite-et-de-masse-entretien-avec-barthelemy-jobert-president-de-luniversite-paris-sorbonne/|title=" La Sorbonne, université d'élite et de masse: entretien avec Barthélémy Jobert, président de l'université Paris Sorbonne ", Le Monde.fr|access-date=27 December 2017|archive-date=2 July 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190702160748/http://orientation.blog.lemonde.fr/2013/05/21/la-sorbonne-universite-delite-et-de-masse-entretien-avec-barthelemy-jobert-president-de-luniversite-paris-sorbonne/|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Sorbonne University, in partnership with INSEAD, also offers all of its alumni and PhD students a professionalizing course in business management to complete their curriculum.

===The Doctoral College===

Since 2010, every PhD student is being delivered an honorary diploma labeled Sorbonne University. This diploma highlights and gathers the skills of the doctors and researchers from the institutions that form Sorbonne University.

[[The Sorbonne Doctoral College]], created in 2013, coordinates the activities of the 26 doctoral schools. Since 2014, it has developed cross-disciplinary PhDs between the different members of the [[Sorbonne University Association]].
