Summer School
Students can attend one track per session. Summer School participants can choose to attend both summer sessions in the Social Sciences track or the French Language track. Additionally, students may choose to add an elective course on top of their core social sciences or French language course.
Social Sciences Track
Students in the social sciences track select one core course of intensive study from Sciences Po’s fundamental disciplines, such as international relations, political science, economics, history, and more. Classes are led by Sciences Po professors and taught in English.
