Congratulations to the class of 2026!

On June 26, 2026, the Grand Rex became a lively stage of emotion, pride, and gratitude.  In the spotlight of this legendary venue, 470 students  from Sciences Po's School of Management officially received their diplomas in front of their families, who had sometimes travelled from far and wide, as well as their friends and the pedagogical team.

The atmosphere reflected the importance of the event: a packed room and, above all, students proud to celebrate the completion of several years of effort, commitment and resilience.

A message to their classmates was also conveyed by the two top students in their graduating class: Agathe Flament and Xavier Morandi, who graduated Summa Cum Laude from the Master's in Finance and Strategy programme.

This graduating class has experienced truly unique years of study. They have evolved in a world where artificial intelligence has become an infrastructure, where supply chains are strategic issues, where climate crises are no longer projections but realities, and where institutions must reinvent themselves.

For Natacha Valla, this generation has turned these challenges into strengths.

The ceremony concluded with a festive gathering on the Saint-Thomas campus, where the graduates celebrated together the end of one chapter and the beginning of another.

« Success is not measured solely by what you accumulate. It is measured by what you leave behind — a strengthened institution, a scientific breakthrough, shareholder value, a work of art, a society made more resilient, and people around you whose lives are brighter, who are happier, who love you. It is measured by a life that has, in some meaningful way, elevated the lives of others. Class of 2026, congratulations! We are proud of you. Welcome to the Sciences Po alumni community! »

A future full of potential 

Our alumni are now preparing to join private or public organisations in France or abroad. Some will choose to create their own business.

Whatever path they choose, they will carry with them the values of our school: rigour, responsibility, open-mindedness and creativity.

Congratulations to you all!
