This prestigious and selective programme consists of two years in France on either Sciences Po’s campus in Le Havre, Menton or Reims and two years in Berkeley at University of California, Berkeley's College of Letters and Science, leading to a dual Bachelor degree.

Admissions procedure

Applicants must apply to this programme through the Berkeley website. All information on the admissions process is provided exclusively by Berkeley.

Selection to the programme is based partly on academic achievement. The application file will be processed for the dual BA programme only. 

Candidates deemed admissible will be contacted for an interview with representatives from Sciences Po and Berkeley.

Please read carefully for further details on the admission process and deadlines.

If you also wish to apply to a Sciences Po undergraduate degree programme as well, you must submit your application through:

• Parcoursup for those preparing to sit the French Baccalaureate (FR);
• The Sciences Po admissions website for those preparing a foreign secondary school diploma.

Interviews

Interviews will take place remotely and will be conducted in English. For applicants choosing a French track at Sciences Po, some questions in French could be asked.

Candidates who apply both to the Dual BA with Berkeley and a Sciences Po undergraduate programme may be invited to two different interviews.

Admissions results

The admission results are notified by email to each applicant by our partner university according to the admission calendar.

Degrees

At the end of their programme of study, candidates will be awarded a Bachelor degree from Sciences Po and a Berkeley Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science in one of the approved majors of the Berkeley College of Letters and Science.

Like other Sciences Po students, new degree-holders will be able to enroll for the master's programme of their choice in compliance with the relevant selection criteria.
