• PSL Bachelor's degree https://psl.eu/en/education/find-your-curriculum/bachelors-degree

  The official undergraduate overview lists programs run by the College, Dauphine-PSL, Mines Paris-PSL, CNSAD-PSL, ENSAD-PSL and Paris-Malaquais-PSL, showing that PSL uses several undergraduate models.

  Model elements: a conservative assessment: the College and Dauphine have progressive specialization, but a university-wide double major model for all PSL bachelor's study is not stated.

• Université PSL and College Sciences, Humanities and Society study regulations https://static.psl.eu/sites/default/files/2025-07/39-2025_-_approbation_du_reglement_de_la_scolarite_de_luniversite_psl_et_des_reglements_des_etudes_des_formations_cpes-smd-cppe.pdf

  The 2025 regulations formally describe CPES and Sustainability Sciences as three-year L1-L3 programs and set the sequence: foundational first year, double major in the second year and specialization in the third year.

  Regulatory model elements: major-path choice in the College and the three-year duration of PSL undergraduate study.

• CPES Multidisciplinary Undergraduate Degree https://psl.eu/en/education/multidisciplinary-undergraduate-degree-cpes

  The CPES page describes a three-year interdisciplinary program with a common foundation, first-year track choice, second-year double major, third-year specialization and some electives.

  Model elements: strong major-path choice within CPES, but this model belongs to the College rather than to every PSL bachelor's program.

• Sustainability Sciences bachelor's degree https://psl.eu/en/education/psl-bachelors-degree-sustainability-sciences

  The official page describes a three-year program with an interdisciplinary core, gradual specialization and a choice of one of two major pathways from the second year.

  Model elements: major-path choice and shows that major/minor elements operate in a specific College program, not as a general minor model across all PSL bachelor's study.

• Double Bachelor's degree in Artificial Intelligence and Organizational Sciences https://psl.eu/en/education/double-bachelors-degree-artificial-intelligence-and-organizational-sciences

  The Dauphine-PSL page describes a specific three-year double bachelor leading to two degrees: applied economics and organizational computer science.

  Model boundary: PSL portfolio includes a strong dual pathway as a specific program, not a university-wide double-major model for all undergraduates.

• Customise your courses https://psl.eu/en/education/customise-your-courses

  The PSL page states that personalization is available from the undergraduate level through UROP, the Language Centre, PSL Weeks and entrepreneurship, while certifying minors are listed for master's study.

  Boundary of the model: undergraduate personalization and open elective opportunities are present, but a general undergraduate minor model is not.

• PSL Week: immerse yourself in the discipline of your choice https://psl.eu/en/education/customise-your-courses/psl-week-immerse-yourself-discipline-your-choice

  The official page describes PSL Weeks as two periods per year when students choose from about 50 weeks in fields taught across PSL institutions to discover a new discipline, broaden skills or deepen specialization.

  Model elements: unrestricted elective choice from a cross-institutional PSL pool, not for open cross-registration at external universities.

• International Bachelor of Environmentally Engaged Engineering I-BE3 https://www.minesparis.psl.eu/en/education/i-be3/

  The Mines Paris-PSL page describes I-BE3 as a PSL bachelor's program of 180 ECTS lasting three years; a separate additional year concerns the Rice University degree pathway.

  Model element: i-BE3 is a three-year PSL bachelor-level programme and does not raise the PSL bachelor duration above three years.

• 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 4,808 1er cycle students for Université Paris sciences et lettres in the effectif_sans_cpge field.

  The CPGE-excluding value is used because the effectif field includes parallel CPGE registrations and gives 5,029. The specialist degree level does not apply to PSL's French model.
