Seven of the campuses are situated in the historic Latin Quarter, including the historic Sorbonne university building, and three in the Marais, Malesherbes and Clignancourt respectively. Paris-Sorbonne also houses France's prestigious communication and journalism school, CELSA, located in the Parisian suburb of Neuilly-sur-Seine, maintains about 400 international agreements.

As a successor of the faculty of humanities ("faculté des lettres") of the University of Paris, it is a founding member the Sorbonne University group, an alliance with the successor of the faculty of law and economics and of the faculty of science of the University of Paris, Panthéon-Assas University and Pierre-and-Marie-Curie University.[6] This group allows Paris-Sorbonne University students to study sciences, law and political sciences in several Dual Degrees. In 2012, two Graduate Certificates in Law from Panthéon-Assas, the Sorbonne Law School, are accessible for all the students member of the Sorbonne University group.[7]
