Université Sorbonne Paris Nord (USPN), still widely called Paris 13, is a public multidisciplinary university in the northern suburbs of Paris and one of the thirteen autonomous institutions that replaced the University of Paris after its break-up in 1970.巴黎第十三大学（Université Sorbonne Paris Nord，简称 USPN，通称巴黎十三大）是法国巴黎北郊的一所公立综合性大学，也是 1970 年巴黎大学解体后分设的十三所自治大学之一。

Its five campuses are spread over Seine-Saint-Denis and Val-d'Oise, at Villetaneuse, Saint-Denis, La Plaine Saint-Denis, Bobigny and Argenteuil, and it enrolled more than 25,000 students in the mid-2020s while sitting in the 1201-1400 band of the QS World University Rankings 2027 published by Quacquarelli Symonds.学校五个校区分布于塞纳-圣但尼省与瓦兹河谷省，分别位于维勒塔讷斯、圣但尼、拉普莱讷圣但尼、博比尼与阿让特伊，2020 年代中期在校生超过 2.5 万人，在 2027 年 QS 世界大学排名中位列第 1201-1400 区间。

History

• The institution grew out of a planning decision taken in the early 1960s, when the rector of the Academy of Paris proposed a third science faculty for the fast-growing northern suburbs of the capital.该校源于 1960 年代初的一项规划决策，当时巴黎学区总长提议在快速扩张的首都北郊设立第三所理学院。
• In September 1969 that plan took shape as the University Centre of Saint-Denis–Villetaneuse, a science-oriented body created inside the University of Paris and granted the status of a faculty.1969 年 9 月，这一计划以圣但尼—维勒塔讷斯大学中心的形态落地，该中心设于巴黎大学内部，以理科为主，并获得学院地位。
• The orientation law of November 1968, known as the Law Faure, had already ordered the dismantling of the single University of Paris and obliged its faculties to regroup into autonomous institutions, which is how Paris 13 came into being.1968 年 11 月颁布的《富尔法》已规定解散统一的巴黎大学，并要求其各学院重组为自治机构，巴黎十三大正是在这一框架下诞生。
• Decree No. 70-1174 of 17 December 1970 gave the new establishment its legal personality and the name University of Paris XIII, while the chancellery of Créteil kept budgetary oversight of the young institution.1970 年 12 月 17 日颁布的第 70-1174 号法令赋予这所新机构法人资格，并定名巴黎第十三大学，同时由克雷泰伊学区督学署对其预算实施监管。
• The Villetaneuse campus was designed by the architects Fainsilber and Anspach as part of a wider renewal of the town, with a first phase centred on a literature and law building planned for about 5,000 students.维勒塔讷斯校区由建筑师凡西尔贝与安斯帕赫设计，属于该市整体更新计划的一部分，首期工程以一座可容纳约 5000 名学生的文学与法学教学楼为核心。
• That first building was completed in October 1970 and welcomed 1,500 first-year students in law, economics and humanities in December 1970, an intake that immediately made the campus one of the busiest in the Paris region.首座建筑于 1970 年 10 月竣工，同年 12 月迎来 1500 名法学、经济学与人文学科的一年级学生，这一招生规模使该校迅速成为巴黎大区最繁忙的校区之一。
• Two libraries, one for the Saint-Denis university centre and one for Villetaneuse, were finished in 1972 and formed the nucleus of a documentary network that now serves every campus.1972 年，圣但尼大学中心图书馆与维勒塔讷斯图书馆相继建成，构成如今覆盖各校区的文献服务网络的雏形。
• During the 1970s the university added medicine, human biology and health programmes on the Bobigny site, turning a predominantly literary and legal establishment into a genuinely multidisciplinary institution.1970 年代，学校在博比尼校区增设医学、人类生物学与健康类课程，使原本以文学和法学为主的学校转变为真正的多学科大学。
• The Bobigny medical school was built around the Avicenne hospital, opened in the 1970s, and the two institutions later formalised their link as the Avicenne University Hospital, the main medical training centre of Seine-Saint-Denis.博比尼医学院围绕 1970 年代启用的阿维森纳医院建设，双方后来正式组建阿维森纳大学医院中心，成为塞纳-圣但尼省主要的医学培训基地。
• By the 1980s mathematics, computer science and physics had become the university's strongest research pillars, organised in laboratories that were progressively recognised as joint units of the CNRS.到 1980 年代，数学、计算机科学与物理学已成为该校最强的研究支柱，相关实验室陆续获得法国国家科研中心联合单位的资格。
• The Institut Galilée, the university's internal engineering school, was created to train engineers in computer science, physics, chemistry and biotechnology, and it remains the most selective component of Paris 13.伽利略学院是该校内部的工程师学校，培养计算机、物理、化学与生物技术方向的工程师，至今仍是巴黎十三大选拔最严格的组成部分。
• Doctoral training was consolidated into three doctoral schools, Erasme for humanities, social sciences, law and economics, Galilée for science, and MTCI for medicine, toxicology, chemistry and imaging.博士培养后来整合为三个博士生院，面向人文、社会科学、法学与经济学的 Erasme，面向理科的 Galilée，以及面向医学、毒理学、化学与影像学的 MTCI。
• France's adoption of the Bachelor-Master-Doctorate system between 2003 and 2005 reshaped the university's degrees, and Paris 13 reorganised its offer into UFRs, institutes and professional bachelor programmes.法国于 2003 至 2005 年间推行学士—硕士—博士学制，重塑了该校的学位体系，巴黎十三大据此把课程重组为学院、研究所与职业学士项目。
• The 2007 law on the freedoms and responsibilities of universities gave Paris 13 control over its own budget, staff and buildings, and the institution adopted revised statutes in the following years.2007 年《大学自由与责任法》使巴黎十三大得以自主管理预算、人员与校舍，学校随后几年通过了修订后的章程。

• A new central library opened at Villetaneuse in spring 2016, replacing cramped premises and giving the main campus a study centre designed for group work and digital collections.2016 年春季，维勒塔讷斯新中央图书馆启用，取代了原先局促的馆舍，为主校区提供了支持小组研讨与数字馆藏的学习中心。
• The T11 Express light rail began serving the new Villetaneuse-Université station in July 2017, cutting journey times to Épinay, Le Bourget and the northern Paris suburbs.2017 年 7 月，T11 快线轻轨开始停靠新建的维勒塔讷斯大学站，缩短了前往埃皮奈、勒布尔歇及巴黎北郊的通行时间。
• Sorbonne Paris Cité was wound up in 2019, when Paris Descartes University and Paris Diderot University merged into Paris Cité University, and Paris 13 chose to remain independent rather than join the merger.2019 年，随着巴黎笛卡尔大学与巴黎狄德罗大学合并为巴黎西岱大学，索邦巴黎西岱联盟解散，巴黎十三大选择保持独立而不再参与合并。
• On 1 January 2020 the university took the name Université Sorbonne Paris Nord, a rebranding intended to underline its Sorbonne lineage while keeping its identity as the university of northern Paris.2020 年 1 月 1 日，学校更名为巴黎索邦北大学（Université Sorbonne Paris Nord），这一更名既强调其索邦渊源，也保留了它作为巴黎北部大学的定位。
• Beyond France, the university has long taught law and physical education in Athens through a partnership with IdEF College, one of its few degree-granting arrangements outside the Paris region.在法国本土之外，学校长期通过与 IdEF 学院合作在雅典教授法学与体育课程，这是其在巴黎大区以外为数不多的学位授予安排之一。
