Dual degree with Stockholm School of Economics

A high standard collaboration

The Paris School of International Affairs (PSIA) at Sciences Po and the Stockholm School of Economics (SSE), both members of the Association of Professional Schools of International Affairs (APSIA), have come together to offer graduate students a cross-disciplinary dual degree that combines studies in International Affairs with studies in one of Economics, Finance or Business & Management thus uniting their efforts in their respective area of excellence

This specific 2-year framework is based on mutual recognition of existing curricula at each school. It offers a top-level education in the area of international affairs and economics to participating students, giving them the opportunity to develop a top-level career in diplomacy, international organizations or other areas of social engagement. 

Students enrol at both institutions and can thus benefit from a wider Alumni network.
