Useful tips
- Apply as early as possible: Do not wait until the very last day to submit your application. Admission decisions are announced on a rolling basis, so the earlier you submit your application, the sooner you will be notified of Sciences Po's decision.
- Anticipate: Before you start your application, make sure to gather all the information required, for example: request official documents, choose and contact your referees, take your language tests and check your visa status.
- Joint Master in Journalism and International Affairs: There are no rolling admissions for this joint master's programme. Applications will be reviewed after the submission deadline (31 January 2021, 23h59, Paris time).
