Admission procedures

The Sciences Po Undergraduate College admits students with a secondary education (French Baccalauréat or foreign equivalent). After three years, students graduate with a Bachelor of Arts and may go on to a Master's programme at Sciences Po or another institution in France or abroad, or go straight into the workforce.

Applying for the Bachelor's programme

All applicants to Sciences Po’s undergraduate college - whether French or international - will follow the same admissions procedure. A multifaceted assessment consisting of four evaluations, with clear, transparent and identical criteria, in order to select the best talents.

French and international secondary school students follow the same procedure, using two different platforms:

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

Dual degrees with French Universities

Candidates can choose to apply either through Sciences Po or through the partner university. Whichever procedure is chosen, a single review of applications and round of interviews serves both institutions.
