Question: 
Can I apply for both a master's programme and a dual degree programme?
Réponse: 

Yes, you can apply for a master's programme (excluding one-year programmes) and a dual degree programme at the same time.

The dual degree programme will be automatically positionned as a first choice and the Master's programme as a second (but if admitted to both programmes, you will be able to choose in which you want to enroll). 

Sciences Po students should only submit an application if they wish to apply to a dual degree programme. Do not select any Master's programme as a second choice. You will be prompted to choose your Master's programme through your student platform at the invitation of the Academic Affairs office, as explained in several newsletters you will receive.

Please note: If you apply to a Master’s programme and a dual degree programme with different deadlines, you must submit your application by the earliest deadline.

Question: 
Can I apply for two master's programmes?
Réponse: 

No, you cannot apply to two Master's programmes.

However, you can apply to one Master's programme and to one dual degree programme, in which case the dual degree programme will be automatically positionned as a first choice and the Master's programme as a second.

If deadlines for these two programmes differ, you must consider the first to come to term.

Question: 
Can I apply to a Master's degree and a dual degree from two different schools?
Réponse: 

Yes, you can apply to a dual degree from one Sciences Po school and to a Master's degree from another Sciences Po school. We recommend that you clearly explain your motivations for each of the two programmes, in order to convince the assessors of the relevance of your choices.

Question: 
May I apply to both a dual degree programme and a one-year Master's programme?
Réponse: 

No, you may not. You have to choose between applying to an initial education programme (Master and/or dual degree) or applying to a one-year Master's programme. These are 2 different courses, one is a state-approved degree, the other (the one-year Master's programme) is an institutional diploma.

Question: 
Is it possible to apply to two different one-year master’s programmes at the same time?
Réponse: 

No, you can only select one one-year master’s programme.

Question: 
Are your joint Master’s programmes (Joint Master in Journalism and International Affairs or Joint Master of Law and Finance) considered dual degrees?
Réponse: 

No, they are considered Sciences Po Master’s programmes. Therefore, when applying to one of them, you may also select a dual degree programme, but not another Sciences Po Master’s programme.

Question: 
I am applying through the international procedure/I am applying to a one-year Master’s programme: Do I have a better chance of being admitted if I apply early?
Réponse: 

No, but the earlier you apply, the shorter our response time will be.

Question: 
I have applied to both a dual degree programme and a Master’s programme. My application has been rejected for one of them. What are my chances for the other one?
Réponse: 

It is common for applicants to be selected for the Master's programme and rejected for the dual degree. However, generally speaking, if your application is rejected for a Master's programme, it is very unlikely that it will be selected for a dual degree, since Sciences Po's selection criteria are the same in both cases. 

Question: 
Does one of your Master's programmes offer higher chances of admission?
Réponse: 

No. The number of applications to each programme varies every year, but we hold to our criteria of excellence and the standards remain high for all Master’s programmes. 

Question: 
What is an apprenticeship master's programme?
Réponse: 

Sciences Po offers the possibility of an apprenticeship within certain Master's programmes.

During their apprenticeship, students receive a salary from their company. They are exempt from tuition fees, which are paid by the company. The work-study schedule is specific to each Master's programme.

Question: 
Can I work full time while attending a one-year Master's programme?
Réponse: 

No, the one-year master's programmes are full-time courses.

Please note that Sciences Po Executive Education offers courses for professionals that are compatible with a full-time job.

Question: 
What is a Partnership Programme?
Réponse: 

They are unique programmes in partnership with an affiliated university characterized by specific enrolment requirements and diplomas. These programmes are only opened to students from Sciences Po and from partner universities. Please review the eligibility criteria and the specificities of each programme.
