Founded in 1970, Université Paris 2 Panthéon-Assas is the heir of the former Faculté De Droit Et De Sciences Economiques de Paris since the 13th century.

Université Paris II Panthéon-Assas is nationally and internationally recognised as one of the top French universities in law and the social sciences, and by far the most reputable in law.
The University is committed to ensuring the highest level of excellence, with respect to all fields of private law and criminal science, public law, political science, roman law and history of the law, economics, management science, information and communication science.

In 2011, Université Paris 2 Pantheon-Assas decided to launch an ambitious internationalisation programme, notably through the creation of several campuses throughout the world, branded Sorbonne-Assas International Law School (SAILS). Today, SAILS offers programmes in Dubai, Paris, Mauritius and Singapore.
