CELSA Sorbonne University, or the École des hautes études en sciences de l'information et de la communication, is a French communication and journalism school (grande école) located in the West of Paris, (Neuilly-sur-Seine) and is part of the Sorbonne University.

The name CELSA is an acronym for the French phrase 'Centre d'études littéraires et scientifiques appliquées', i.e. Centre for Applied Literary and Scientific Studies.

It is a highly practical professional course taught mostly by senior journalists from national radio and television stations, daily newspapers and press agencies.

It is the study of the process of explanation of the organisation's strategy to a wide variety of audiences from staff, shareholders and clients to opinion makers such as journalists and elected representatives.

The programme introduces students to all the facets of organisational and institutional communications as well as to the tasks carried out by the different practitioners in this field.

The curriculum includes a series of courses taught by academic staff in fields such as semiology, thus enhancing students' promotion potential in the marketing sector.

Other lessons are taught by executives from French and international communications agencies and companies, who provide students with practical information on topics ranging from strategic planning to the legal environment, as well as the latest trends in brand management.

In order to understand the context within which all human resource policies operate, there are lectures on the French and European socio-economic environment.

The Magistère in communications offers students the widest training in the social sciences, from sociology to ethnology and psycho-sociology.

The aim is to enable them to analyse effectively a wide range of behavioural phenomena as well as understand the communications problems and challenges that firms and organisations face today, and to give them the potential to evolve to senior positions quickly.

This section addresses students interested in the general question of the transformation information undergoes between an institution and its public.

Junior Communication's programs focus on work readiness, entrepreneurship, and financial literacy, and teach CELSA students important skills to help them become economically empowered.
