• Classical, single-discipline or bi-disciplinary licence (L2-L3) https://sciences.sorbonne-universite.fr/formation-sciences/offre-de-formation/licences-0/licence-carte/licence-classique-monodisciplinaire-bidisplinaire

  The page describes the licence à la carte model with monodisciplinary, bidisciplinary, minor and intensive double-major pathways.

  The intensive bi-disciplinary pathways take the form of a double major and lead to two licence degrees. The same page states that science plus humanities double licences start in L1, while the scientific licence discipline is chosen in the second year.

• L1: a multidisciplinary integration year https://sciences.sorbonne-universite.fr/formation-sciences/offre-de-formation/licences/la-l1-une-annee-dintegration-pluridisciplinaire

  The Faculty of Sciences and Engineering first year is built around seven multidisciplinary portals, with progressive orientation toward one of the eight licence mentions.

• L2-L3: eight licence disciplines https://sciences.sorbonne-universite.fr/formation-sciences/offre-de-formation/licences/les-l2-l3-nos-huit-disciplines-de-licence

  The page states that after L1 students orient toward one of eight licence mentions, and within those mentions the majeure-mineure device offers monodisciplinary or bi-disciplinary, classical or intensive pathways.

• Double licences https://sciences.sorbonne-universite.fr/formation-sciences/offre-de-formation/licences/licence-carte/doubles-licences-l2-l3

  The L2-L3 double licences combine two majors in different science disciplines and allow students, subject to conditions, to obtain the two corresponding licence degrees.

  These science-science double majors are entered after the first licence year, so this confirms in-study choice of a double primary pathway, but only after L1 and subject to sufficient academic level.

• Double bachelor's and double degree courses https://sciences.sorbonne-universite.fr/formation-sciences/candidatures-et-inscriptions/licences/doubles-licences-et-doubles-cursus

  The admissions page describes science and humanities double licences and double courses as selective programmes that start in L1 and have specific application procedures, usually through Parcoursup.

  This is a separate two-primary-field route chosen at admission. It should be distinguished from science-science double majors, which are entered after L1.

• Course catalog https://formations.sorbonne-universite.fr/

  The formation catalog shows UE requirements, optional units and duration across licence and health pathways.

• SISE ESR: student enrolment by public institution https://data.enseignementsup-recherche.gouv.fr/explore/dataset/fr-esr-sise-effectifs-d-etudiants-inscrits-esr-public/

  The official SISE ESR dataset for 2024-25 reports 21,140 1er cycle students for Sorbonne Université in the effectif_sans_cpge field.

  The CPGE-excluding value is used because the effectif field includes parallel CPGE registrations and gives 29,548. The specialist degree level does not apply to Sorbonne Université's French model.
