Bachelor of arts, third year : the mixed year (study abroad and internships)

For students meeting the eligibility requirements (see below), this format provides the chance to complete a semester-long internship experience abroad.

The internship must be conducted in continuity with the student’s major coursework and carried out on a full-time basis over the course of four consecutive months. The ability to pursue an internship is predicated on the validation of the major during the study abroad semester.

The list of partner universities able to accomodate mixed year students will be communicated shortly via the Sciences Po International Affairs website.

The choice to pursue a mixed year is a definitive engagement. The option of changing into, or out of, the mixed year project during the course of the third year is not authorized.

Eligibility criteria 

All courses must have been validated with no defaults (with the exception of previously justified medical situations);
The student must present an academic profile in constant progression;

Students wishing to pursue a mixed year should attend an information session conducted by Sciences Po Careers.

Once again, the decision to pursue a mixed year is binding.
