Sorbonne University Courses and Tuition The university offers courses in Arts, Languages, Classical Languages & French, Human Sciences and Communication. The tuition fee per academic year is set to 6 500 euros.

The origins of the Sorbonne Throughout the centuries, la Sorbonne became and remained a prestigious symbol of the university, training and teaching many of the great philosophers and masters of theology and history. The University of Paris opened its doors in the 13th century.

Today, it continues to house the successor universities of the University of Paris, such as Panthéon-Sorbonne University, Sorbonne University, Sorbonne Nouvelle University and University of Paris, as well as the Chancellerie des Universités de Paris.

Of all the universities in France however, the Sorbonne is considered to be, by far in a way, the closest in prestige to a Grande École.

Sciences Po Aix, a teaching of excellence Sciences Po Aix is a Grand Ecole with admission by competitive exam or application, via a demanding selection procedure. It is a member of the Conférence des Grandes Ecoles, an organisation for France’s most prestigious academic institutions.

A grande école (French: [ɡʁɑ̃d ekɔl]) is a French institution of higher education that is separate from, but parallel and often connected to, the main framework of the French public university system. Grandes écoles differ from public universities in France.

Université Sorbonne Paris Cité (USPC) Sciences Po is a member of USPC, a grouping of 13 higher education and research institutions in the Paris region. USPC’s size and multidisciplinary expertise makes it a major player in higher education and research in France and abroad.

Sciences Po is regarded as one of the most prestigious institutions of higher learning, a reputation bolstered among the international community as well. French students endure years of preparation for the entrance exam and once accepted their future seems set.

Sciences Po hosts 14,000 students – half are international, hailing from 150 countries. In order to recruit the best students from all around the world, Sciences Po offers programmes taught entirely in English at the undergraduate and graduate levels.

Sciences Po is one of the top Public universities in Dijon, France. It is ranked #242 in QS Global World Rankings 2021.

A university with an international outlook Driven by this vocation for nearly 150 years, today Sciences Po stands out as a world-class university, with internationally-recognised degrees and research, a multicultural community and a worldwide network of partners.

London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) is one of the leading universities and definitely one of the best for studying Economics in the United Kingdom. According to QS Top Universities ranking 2020 LSE ranked first in the United Kingdom and fifth globally to pursue economics courses.

Harvard is another higher category compared to LSE in many dimensions including great campus life, better salaries after school , better networking in business and name recognition.

LSE is a highly urban university. The only Ivy League which is really comparable is Columbia, and even it feels more “campusy” than the LSE. The LSE is more narrowly focussed in its specialisation. The LSE is much bigger in terms of total enrollment than most Ivy League schools.

It depends on what you mean by “better”. In terms of rankings, the LSE is higher ranked for most subjects that it teaches ( since LSE is social sciences only) but UCL is slightly higher ranked overall (probably due to having all subjects). I suspect UCL is better, but only slightly.

UCL is worth it for the connections you MIGHT make, the researchers that you MIGHT impress/collaborate with, and the fact that recruiters from all sorts of high ranking firms (various banks, big 4 accountancy firms, etc) will/do visit UCL and put on careers events, etc.

In terms of reputation, UCL beats Imperial among academics, while Imperial has a slightly stronger reputation among graduate employers, and also offers a slightly better student/faculty ratio.

LSE has been ranked top in Europe — and second in the world — in social sciences and management subjects for the ninth consecutive year in the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2021. Overall, 12 LSE disciplines were placed in the global top ten.

Admission to LSE is highly competitive: in 2014, the school received around 17,000 applications for only 1,500 undergraduate places. Only one in 11.3 were selected. LSE is one of the most difficult universities to gain acceptance.

It has a much higher proportion of international students than either Oxford or Cambridge. That makes it a great place to study if you want to make contacts for a career as a diplomat, for example. Oxford and Cambridge are still the best universities in the UK for networking, but LSE is probably the closest rival.

The Scottish stalwart is closely followed by LSE, who accept 9.05 per cent of applicants. Niche Londoners St George’s and Soas round off the top four. In fact, a whopping. 15 per cent of Oxford applicants get accepted, whilst 18.48 per cent of Cambridge (who don’t even make the list) applicants get accepted.

Last year, the Guardian ranked St Andrews second to Cambridge. This year, Oxford takes top spot with Cambridge moving to third. St Andrews ranking is by virtue of its high scores for student satisfaction and experience, graduate employment and the quality of its academic programmes.

Reputation: Oxford a hands down winner. People in the UK will probably have heard of Durham, but Oxford is known around the world. Quality of research: both universities are very good but Oxford probably wins here. The vast bulk of research money goes to Oxford, Cambridge and the London universities.
