Reims campus

A campus open to the world

Located in the heart of the Grand Est region, the Reims campus welcomes nearly 1,600 students, around half of whom are international. This high level of cultural diversity gives the campus a distinctly international dimension and fosters an academic environment rich in comparative perspectives.

As part of the Bachelor’s programme at the University College of Sciences Po, students follow one of the two regional minors offered on campus: the North America minor and the Africa minor. These programmes provide an in-depth study of these regions through a multidisciplinary approach drawing on political science, economics, law, sociology and history.

Beyond formal teaching, the diversity of students’ backgrounds and experiences enriches intellectual exchange and debate on major political, economic and social transformations at the global level. The campus thus offers an ideal setting for developing a nuanced understanding of international dynamics and of the relationships between societies, cultures and institutions.

Academic programmes at the Reims Campus

An international campus with a dynamic student life

Located in the immediate vicinity of Reims Cathedral, the campus is housed in the former Jesuit College, a historic 17th-century building that has been carefully restored to accommodate modern facilities dedicated to higher education. Lecture theatres, classrooms and a library are set within a remarkable architectural complex, where stone, wood panelling and stained-glass windows blend seamlessly with contemporary fittings.

This exceptional setting is home to a particularly dynamic international community. With over 70 nationalities represented, the campus welcomes numerous international students, whether they are enrolled in a full degree programme or on an exchange for a semester or a year, thereby fostering a rich daily dialogue between cultures. To help students settle in, accessible housing is available within walking distance of the campus.

With almost 1,000 events a year, student life here is particularly vibrant. Through its many student associations, cultural initiatives, sporting activities and community projects, the campus is a place of engagement and responsibility, where students play an active role in organising debates, conferences and events.

Learning and exploring beyond the classroom

The intellectual life of the campus extends beyond formal teaching. Throughout the year, conferences, talks and debates enable students to deepen their understanding of major international issues by engaging with the perspectives of researchers, public officials, diplomats, economic actors and representatives of civil society.

Students can also take part in collective projects and student-led initiatives developed in partnership with local institutions and organisations. These experiences enrich their education and help them develop a strong sense of engagement, responsibility and teamwork.

The campus encourages civic engagement and involvement in local life, notably through the Civic Learning Programme, which enables students to carry out projects in partnership with associations, schools and public institutions. 

Students with entrepreneurial ambitions can benefit from dedicated support through the PÉPITE Champagne-Ardenne scheme, which provides access to the National Student-Entrepreneur Status, as well as to a network and specialised services.

Finally, the academic team ensures close support for students, both in their academic progress and in the development of their personal and student-led initiatives

Reims: “City of Coronations” and the beating heart of Champagne

The City of Reims holds a major place in French history. As the city where the kings of France were crowned for several centuries, it preserves an exceptional heritage, including Reims Cathedral, the Palace of Tau and the Basilica of Saint-Remi, all listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

The city also enjoys international recognition thanks to its renowned Champagne Houses and the surrounding vineyard landscapes, which are likewise UNESCO-listed. With more than 180,000 inhabitants and a large student population, Reims is a dynamic university centre located just 45 minutes from Paris by high-speed train.
