The mandatory year abroad

At the Sciences Po Undergraduate College, all students spend two years in France at one of Sciences Po’s campuses followed by a mandatory year abroad, either studying at one of our 410 partner universities or completing an internship. 
Watch the video featuring Yanis, Lucie, Cyril and Marie, four Sciences Po students who are spending their third undergraduate year at George Washington University.


The mandatory undergraduate year abroad is specific to Sciences Po and represents a cornerstone of our outward-looking education. It allows students to deepen their knowledge in the social sciences or to specialise in a particular discipline, and to reinforce their language skills. It is also a fantastic opportunity for students to broaden their minds and discover new cultures. When they come back, they often think in a different way.
