Cooperative projects and moots

Cooperative projects

The Cooperative projects is an optional module offered to the Master’s students, which counts for 6 credits ECTS. Based on a professionally oriented experience, the team project allows students to acquire a global and concrete vision of project management. Students are split into teams, 3-5 in each, to carry out a project in tandem with a public institution, a company or an association, from September to May, with an average of three hours of works a week.

This educational approach combines academic and professional demands. The main objective is that the group, guided by the partner, fulfills the mission they have been assigned. The project is closely linked to their course content and as a result the students are offered missions that enable them:

• to apply the knowledge, analytical capacities and methodological skills acquired throughout their studies
• to gain real experience of project management and test their capacity to fulfill the expectations of the professional world (taking on responsibility, allotting tasks, respecting deadlines, reporting...)
• to develop qualities that are prized in the working world, such as team spirit, anticipation, autonomy, creativity, initiative and organization

The group project may in no case involve the organization of an event at Sciences Po.

There are two types of group projects:

• those which are open to students of different masters
• those which are supported by and open to only students of the Law School
