Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne thus undertakes to enroll and support students in higher education, refugees who have been identified by the Paris Rectorate.

The University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne set up in October 2015 a program to welcome exiled students and created in 2017 a University Diploma specifically designed for exiled students of any nationality.
