Sciences Po

Institut d’Études Politiques de Paris, often referred to as Sciences Po, is a Grand Établissement in Paris, France. Sciences Po has traditionally educated the French political and diplomatic elite, but its academic focus spans not only the political and economic
sciences, but also law, communications, finance, business, urban policy, management, and journalism. Its campus is just off the Seine River, and within walking distance of Notre Dame de Paris, the Panthéon, and the Assemblée Nationale. It comprises 17th and 18th century mansions located on and around Rue Saint-Guillaume in the VIIe arrondissement of the Left Bank.

• Since most of the courses are taught in French, a good command of the French language is needed (B-2 level)!
• Applying occurs through the electronic registration system. Students have to be nominated by their home institution before they can send in a formal application package.
