]
After the ideological, cultural and social fever which took hold of France in ], a new university emerged; the law of 12 November 1968 instituted autonomous, multidisciplinary universities.


While ] succedeed only the faculty of humanities of Sorbonne University,<ref>Paris-Sorbonne University is therefore its main successor since the Sorbonne is above all an institution for humanities.</ref> ] only the ]<ref>Conac, pp. 177-178</ref> and ] only the faculty of sciences, Panthéon-Sorbonne University was founded on a wish for interdisciplinarity by bringing together disciplines. The name of the university show this interdisciplinarity: the ] building is the traditional seat of the Humanities studies in Paris (hence it is also used by ] and ]), and the Panthéon building is, with the Assas building,<ref>Conac,, p. 191.</ref> the traditional seat of the law studies (hence it is also used by ]).
Paris I University was founded on the basis of a profound wish for change to produce an original academic project bringing together humanities, law and economics. Instead of having separate faculties, the university was divided into much more specialized departments (UFR). For instance the UFR of ] has the same relationship with the UFR of ] as with the UFR or ]. This was a revolutionary change, as those subjects had previously been taught in highly distinct and hierarchical faculties. To the traditional degree courses in France in history, geography, philosophy, art history, archaeology, economics, law and political science, new disciplines were gradually added, including visual arts, mathematics applied to social sciences, business management, tourism, culture and communications.


== Organization ==
The name of the university embodies this triple tradition: the ] is the traditional seat of the Humanities studies in Paris (hence it is also used by ] and ], and the Place du Panthéon building is the seat of the law school (hence it is also used by ]). Business studies had no traditional seat, as they were taught by law faculties.
The Pantheon-Sorbonne University is organized in several departments (''unités de formation et de recherche''), schools (grouping of departments) and autonomous institutes.
