“Our university, which was founded 50 years ago, is one of the 13 universities that succeeded the Sorbonne after 1968. It ranks among the top 4.4% of universities worldwide and currently welcomes over 25,000 students across five campuses in the Paris region,” says a statement from Sorbonne Paris Nord, which on Friday submitted an application to open a private, non-profit university in Greece.

In its statement, the university mentions that “on February 14, a delegation was received in Athens by the Ministry of Education, Religious Affairs, and Sports.

The delegation was headed by Olivier Undar, Vice President of the Academic Council, and Anne Fasson, Dean of Law, Political, and Social Sciences.

Education in Law, Economics, and Physical Education

According to Sorbonne Paris Nord, the purpose of the delegation was to present the outline for the creation of a university in Greece, in collaboration with our Greek partners. “The university will offer education in Law, Economics, and Physical Education. Both Greek and international students will have access, with the possibility of financial support in the form of scholarships under the program ‘Studies for All’.”

The delegation then met with Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, Minister of State Akis Skertsos, and Minister of Education Kyriakos Pierrakakis.

“This meeting is also part of a dynamic academic collaboration between France and Greece. It marks a strategic step in Sorbonne Paris Nord’s desire to actively contribute to building the European University of tomorrow,” concludes the statement.
