Two years in France, one year abroad
All students spend two years at one of Sciences Po’s seven campuses in France, and one year abroad on an internship or studying at one of Sciences Po’s 410 partner universities around the world.

The world in a classroom
Half of the 13,000 students at Sciences Po hail from 140 countries outside France. This multiculturalism is an invaluable asset for our students and they all agree that they learn a lot from the exceptional diversity of the student body.

A multidisciplinary education with an international outlook

  • ​Asia on the Le Havre campus (courses in English)
  • ​​The Middle-East and Mediterranean on the Menton campus (courses in English)
  • ​Europe & the Franco-German Region on the Nancy campus
