Admission to a One-Year Master's Programme: eligibility criteria
Admission to a One-Year Master's programme is based on the evaluation of the candidate's academic background, combined with his/her professional experience. Eligibility is therefore based on these two criteria.
Academic criteria
Admission to a One-Year Master's programme is open to applicants having completed their university education in France or abroad and holding any of the following diplomas:
- an undergraduate degree (Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Sciences/licenciatura/licence) at the time of entry to Sciences Po;
- a minimum of 180 ECTS credits;
- a Master's degree (magister or specialist, for example) from universities which do not award undergraduate qualifications.
More information on the prerequisites by programme.
Professional experience
To be considered for admission to the MAGS, applicants must meet academic criteria and the following professional criteria:
- minimum of 5 years of full-time paid professional experience (internship and volunteering non-included) post-bachelor studies
- the 5-year minimum must be completed by the time the program starts (late August) at the latest
- the experience does not need to be directly connected to the content of the program the applicant is applying for.
To be considered for admission to the LLM, applicants must meet academic criteria, hold a law degree (Master 2, JD, LL.B., or their equivalent), and have completed a minimum of 18 months of full-time professional experience (including internships) by the time the programme starts (late August). Experience in any field of law will be considered and does not need to be directly linked to arbitration or dispute settlement.
