In homage to Beate Collet

Diversity Month 2023 is dedicated to the memory of Beate Collet, who passed away on April 4. Beate Collet showed immense devotion as a sociology professor, the vice director of the GEMASS joint research unit, and the head of the mission “fight against discriminations.” Our thoughts are with her family.

Ensuring equality, diversity and respect is one of the priorities of Sorbonne University

On July 6, 2021, the Board of directors of Sorbonne University approved a charter outlining the modalities of the fight against all forms of discrimination
 

The academic year includes three moments of rich scientific and cultural activity which represent our commitment to these essential values:

  • Gender Month in November;
  • Equality Month in March;
  • Diversity Month in May. 

Following on from the first Gender Month organised in November 2022, and Gender Equality Month in March 2023, the Equality Committee of Sorbonne University is proud to invite you to take part in the rich programme of the 2023 Diversity Month.

Welcome to Sorbonne University's Faculty of Science & Engineering

A unique combination of courses and expertise

Our international study programmes are organised according to the major disciplinary areas of the faculty. They represent the graduate study programmes that are not strictly conducted in French or that could be suitable (in part) for non French-speaking students. They also reflect part of the diversity of the disciplines involved and the bi- and inter-disciplinary aspects of many of the courses we offer.

 

Research & Innovation

We rely on disciplinary skills and on interdisciplinary approaches to renew concepts, methods and research subjects and to focus on some of the crucial issues faced by our societies: transformations affecting the very construction of knowledge (data, AI), the treatment of complex objects (the environment, marine and ocean sciences, cultural heritage) or our contributions to addressing societal challenges (climate change, healthcare).

Study at | The Faculty of Science & Engineering

Our campuses offer different and unique experiences to our students, visitors and staff. Resources and support services are also available to ensure an equal chance at success to all.

Campus Life

In addition to the cultural activities and events organised throughout the year by our clubs and societies, the Parismus society organises numerous events, evenings and cultural visits that will help you discover France and its parisian life.
