The 5 Secrets of the Reims Campus

Every year, the Reims campus hosts about 1,600 students. 49% of the student body comes from abroad, with 90 nationalities represented.

The Reims campus opened its doors in 2010 and hosts two minors: Africa and North America, in a comparative analysis approach with Europe. The campus has also been hosting since 2020 one of the four interdisciplinary double degrees in sciences and social sciences (Bachelor of Arts and Sciences - BASc) offered by Sciences Po. Entitled "Environment and sustainable society", this four-year bachelor's degree combining social sciences with life sciences is carried out in partnership with the University of Reims Champagne-Ardenne.

Some of its students are also enrolled in dual degrees with seven of our Undergraduate College's renowned international partners: Columbia University, University of California Berkeley, University of British Columbia, National University of Singapore, University of Hong Kong, University of Sydney, and Luiss University.

Do you want to know the 5 secrets of the Reims campus history?

  1. The 16th-century vaults of the ancient kitchen serve as the perfect venue for the champagne tastings hosted by the campus Tasting Club.
  2. The former Jesuit library, which dates from 1619, a real architectural and historical gem with period woodwork from floor to ceiling, was surprisingly protected during the First World War: it was dismantled and brought to Paris before being resettled at the end of the Great War.
  3. 400-year-old vines grow on this campus located in the heart of the Champagne vineyards and produce verjuice clusters weighing almost three kilos!
  4. The Reims planetarium was installed on the campus site for more than thirty years, from 1979 to 2013.
  5. Two movies have been shot on campus: the biopic Widow Clicquot, directed by Thomas Napper (2023) as well as the movie La reine Margot directed by Patrice Chéreau (1994).
