Eight schools preparing students for their career
Open to anyone holding an undergraduate degree of three years or more (i.e. a Bachelor’s degree, a French licence, or their international equivalents), our Master’s programmes are taught on the Sciences Po Paris Campus, across eight professionally focused Graduate Schools. Each school has its own unique curriculum combining core knowledge, an interdisciplinary approach, sector-specific expertise and the development of professional skills. Involving two years of study, our Master’s programmes are informed by research and delivered using active teaching methods designed to boost students’ employability.
30 Master’s Programmes
Across its various Master’s programmes, each Graduate School offers students a wide range of specialisms, all closely linked to their chosen professional sector or career. Most of them offer access to dual degrees, and some programmes offer the option of an apprenticeship (FR) in the second year. Alternatively, students may choose to take a gap year between the two years of their Master’s to gain more professional experience. In all cases, the second year includes an off-campus semester, during which students complete an internship, study abroad or write a research dissertation.
In order to recruit the best students from all around the world, Sciences Po offers Master's programmes taught entirely in English. No need to speak French to enrol in these programmes: students can become multilingual with intensive French language courses during their studies at Sciences Po. Additionally, our schools also offer one-year masters programmes for young professionals.
