Meet the Partner Universities of Our 10 Bachelor's Dual Degrees

« Students invested in studying abroad can intentionally develop a whole set of skills that we recognise now as being very important for professional success and to be a maker of positive change in the world. Qualities such as resilience, problem-solving skills, empathy. The extended immersive experience of an international dual degree adds the institutional benefits of having two diplomas, two alumni networks, two cohorts of mentors and friends. Sciences Po is a dream choice for UC Berkeley: our students can follow the same majors but with a different core curriculum. Starting on a smaller campus in France, before coming together to the "big ocean" of UC Berkeley, is also a plus. »

« A dual degree allows students to access two worlds that are quite different, both in terms of culture and language. In an academic setting, the ways they learn and take part in activities will also be structured differently. We chose Sciences Po because it is a renown university, including in Hong Kong and particularly for political science. This dual degree is now almost ten years old and ranks high among our many international partnerships. »

Associate Professor, Hong Kong University

« The Dual Degree brings a broad international perspective to our students. For example, a lot of students who study Economics at Sciences Po find themselves caught between two worlds when they arrive at the National University of Singapore. One in which they learned to understand macroeconomics, economics in a broad scale, and the other where they learn technical, specialised skills: microeconomics, behavioural economics, applied economics. They get the best of both worlds, basically. Sciences Po is a very good fit for our university, it has become our window into Europe, our way to extend our education and outreach. »

Daniel Goh

Associate Provost, National University of Singapore

« The foundation knowledge that students get at Sciences Po can then be broadened at University College London, a large comprehensive university where people can study everything from medical sciences to anthropology. Sciences Po's commitment to a wide humanistic and social sciences' education is what makes it a good match with UCL. We both understand that if you want to really make a change in the world, you need to have a broad education, you need to understand languages, you need to study foundational texts in politics, sociology, history, and so on. There's a shared ethos between our two institutions, we understand what Sciences Po stands for: a university that deals with the world's problems as they are, just like we do. »

Associate Professor, University College London

« They're so many benefits to a Dual Degree, one that stands out is the real focus on specialisation at Sciences Po. By the time the students reach Sydney, where we have a very large Arts and Social Sciences Faculty, they're able to rely on the base that they built up at Sciences Po and expand out to other areas. Sciences Po also offers smaller campuses so students can enjoy campus life and be part of a cohort, which is beneficial to learning. Students of the Dual Degree get to experience different perspectives and learning styles, from two different but similarly demanding education systems, which is valued by employers. Sciences Po is a great partner because it is a prestigious and one of a kind university, that has a fantastic global reputation. The university offers some unique features such as the Civic Learning Programme or the opportunity to chose a campus depending on a geographical minor. »
