Training

Sciences Po offers a wide range of courses that directly or indirectly address the challenges of environmental change, both for students and for professionals who wish to continue their education.

 

All Sciences Po students must be trained to understand and manage the challenges of environmental change. For several years now, we have been renewing our curricula to integrate these issues in an interdisciplinary way throughout the academic career at Sciences Po.

In total, Sciences Po has more than 370 courses that address environmental studies from specific disciplinary perspectives, but also in an interdisciplinary way.

These are complemented by a series of methodological courses focusing on specific sources (major surveys, archival collections, public reports, legal texts, etc.), as well as teaching initiatives such as the "Climate Change" production workshop at the School of Journalism, the Law Clinic on environmental justice issues at the Law School, and group projects at the Urban School.

At the Undergraduate college : a compulsory course on Ecological Culture

As testimony to Sciences Po's commitment to training all its students in the challenges of environmental transformation, a compulsory Ecological Culture course was created in January 2023 for the 1,700 first-year students.

This course engages all the disciplines that structure the Sciences Po curriculum, and notably addresses political science, environmental history, economics, law, sociology and international relations, offering complementary insights from other areas of the sciences.

The “Ecological Culture” course is divided into two main parts:

  • 18 hours of intensive lectures in the spring semester (late January)
  • 6 hours of complementary teaching given during the first five weeks of the spring semester by academics and engineers from the life and natural sciences, through general lectures tackling specific environmental issues, in connection with public policy debates.

At Sciences Po's graduate schools: Master's degrees with a strong focus on environmental issues

A range of joint courses in M1 has been set up to address the environmental and social impact of companies, in all 9 of the École's masters programs, and more specifically :

Since 1974, Sciences Po Executive Education has trained over 50,000 decision-makers from all over the world: executives, managers, high potentials and talents. Its teams design short courses (Certificates & short programs) or degree programs (Executive Masters) to support individuals in their personal and professional development.

One of the themes of these courses is dedicated to the Ecological Transition and corporate social responsibility.
