The remarkable University of Paris (in French, Université de Paris) first appeared in the last half of the 12th century, but it was in 1970 that this University restructured as 13 autonomous universities. The University of Paris I-XIII is the 13 present universities. The university is often referred to as the Sorbonne or La Sorbonne after the collegiate institution (Collège de Sorbonne) founded by Robert de Sorbon. But the university as such is older and was never entirely centered on the Sorbonne.
Of all the 13 current descendant universities, the first four is located in Sorbonne, and three include Sorbonne in their University names. The 13 univesities, however, stand under a common chancellor, the Rector of the Académié of Paris., with offices in Sorbonne. As of 2006, the Rector of the Academy of Paris and Chancellor of the Universities of Paris is Maurice Quénet. The Vice- Chancellor of the Universities of Paris is Pierre Gregory.
In the same way to the other of the earliest medieval universities, the University of Paris was never established through a specific foundation act, such as a royal charter or papal bull. It grew up in the later part of the 12th century around the Notre Dame Cathedral as a corporation similar to the other medieval corporations, such as guilds of merchants or artisans. The medieval Latin term universitas, in fact, had the more broad meaning of a guild, and the University of Paris was recognized as a universitas magistrorum et scholarium (guild of masters and scholars).
The universities had four faculties: Arts, Medicine, Law, and Theology. The faculty of Arts was the lowest in category, as well as the largest because students had to graduate in that faculty before you are admitted to one of the higher faculties. The students in the Arts faculty were divided into four nations according to language or regional origin; France, Normandy, Picard, and England, the last one with which came to be known as the Alemannian (German) nation. Recruitment to each nation was wider than the names might entail and the English-German nation in fact included students from Scandinavia and Eastern Europe. Along with the University of Bologna, the faculty and nation system of Paris became the paradigm for all later medieval universities.
The University of Paris remains as one of the most well-known and impressive universities in the world. They have produced Nobel Prize winners from its faculty and student body, as well as a number of the greatest intellectuals, political theorists, scientists, physicians, theologians, and artists of the Western practice and principle.
You can tell how outstanding the University of Paris is when it comes to producing excellent faculties and students. This will clearly give you an idea about how great it must be to be studying in one of the present 13 Universities.
