Description:
Vous entrez à Paris-Sorbonne (Paris IV) : c'est l'héritière de l'une des plus anciennes universités du monde, la prestigieuse Sorbonne qui date du Moyen Âge... Mais, vous y entrez pour le nouveau siècle, le vingt-et-unième. Vous allez y trouver à peu près toutes les disciplines du secteur lettres et sciences humaines (en tous cas, le plus vaste champ proposé à Paris) : depuis le grec ancien et l'égyptologie jusqu'à l'ingénierie linguistique, en passant par la philosophie, la sociologie, les études de la plupart des langues et civilisations étrangères, les lettres classiques et modernes, l'histoire.....
