Our college offers a three-year undergraduate degree that includes a year abroad at one of our 478 partner universities. There are seven graduate schools composed of 27 master's degrees and five PhD programmes. Sciences Po offers over 40 dual degrees with partner universities, including Columbia University in New York, the London School of Economics and 03 Peking University. We also provide executive education with 14 dedicated executive master's degrees and over 100 customised training programmes. Sciences Po offers a multidisciplinary, multilingual and outward looking education. In order to provide a comprehensive curriculum, Sciences Po places great emphasis on fundamental academic courses, professional training and extra-curricular activities. Sciences Po also integrates digital teaching methods into its programmes and continues to develop innovative teaching platforms, such as MOOCs. Following completion of their degree, Sciences Po graduates possess unique profiles which are highly sought by leading recruiters. 84% of Sciences Po graduates are hired within six months of graduation and 34% start their career abroad. Our goal is to open minds and develop critical thinking. We seek to provide students with the essential tools that will enable them to make sense of a complex world. We also provide students with a truly international environment. Our student community comprises 14,000 students – half are international, coming from 150 countries. As a research university, Sciences Po is focused on excellence, and demands the highest standards from faculty and students.

International Dual Bachelor’s Degrees
Two years at Sciences Po + two years at the partner university
Sciences Po offers dual Bachelor’s degrees with nine of the world’s leading universities, allowing students to study as fully-
integrated members of two distinct academic cultures. Students from all around the world are recruited jointly by both
institutions and form close-knit cohorts that are fully-integrated into the larger communities of their two universities.
The first two years of all dual Bachelor’s programmes take place on one of Sciences Po’s campuses, where participants
pursue the undergraduate curriculum and their choice of major. In years 3 and 4 at the partner university, students pursue a
major offered by the host institution. Upon successful completion of the two curricula, students graduate with two
Bachelor’s degrees, offering exceptional access to prestigious graduate studies or to entry into the job market.
