Editing Sorbonne University (section)

=== Splitting of the University of Paris ===
In 1971, the University of Paris, including its humanities and science faculties, split into several interdisciplinary universities. Some, including the [[Paris-Sorbonne University|University of Paris-Sorbonne]], retained the name "[[Sorbonne (disambiguation)|Sorbonne]]" and premises in the historic centre of the University of Paris, which had until then been mainly devoted to the faculties of Humanities and Sciences.

The [[Pierre and Marie Curie University|University of Paris-VI]], later renamed as "UPMC", is created from the majority of the teaching and research units of the Faculty of Sciences of Paris (the others joining the universities of Paris-VII Denis Diderot (now [[Université Paris Cité]]), [[Paris-Saclay University]] in Orsay, [[Paris XII|Paris-XII]] and [[Université Sorbonne Paris Nord|Paris-XIII]] in Villetaneuse) and part of the units of the [[University of Paris|Faculty of Medicine of Paris]] (the others joining the universities of Paris-V René Descartes (now [[Université Paris Cité]]), Paris-VII Denis Diderot and [[Université Sorbonne Paris Nord|Paris-XIII]]).
