Regarding the validation of the regional concentration
In addition to the mention of the major, the regional concentration will appear on the Bachelor of Arts diploma for those students having met its requirements.
The successful completion of the regional concentration requires the following conditions:
- The student whose third year abroad is spent in the region of focus of his or her campus automatically validates the specialization. No additional academic requirements are necessary.
- The student opting to study outside of the region of focus of his or her campus must validate two courses during the third year relating to their campus ’ region (only one of which may be a language course). Sciences Po does guarantees neither the availability of, nor a registration in, such classes at its partner institutions.
