Competitive exam preparation - Programme

The pedagogy used at Sciences Po's CPCE consists of applying to European competitive examinations the unique expertise developed by Sciences Po in the field of preparation for French public administration examinations. Sciences Po's approach to preparing for competitive exams is inspired by a simple idea: success depends on a perfect mastery of the format and specifications of the tests.

The preparation is adapted to the competitive exams and accompanies the students at each stage of the selection and recruitment process.

PREPARATION FOR THE WRITTEN TESTS

Preparation for the selection tests is provided by a team of competition laureates who work in the EU institutions. These teachers provide students with the benefit of both their competition experience and their professional experience within the institutions. 

LANGUAGES

The preparation is offered in French and English.

TRAINING PROGRAMME

The training takes place in group sessions at Sciences Po for the preparation of the application file, the knowledge of the European Union, the written test and the final phase of the reserve list and recruitment. 

On the other hand, preparation for the RVNA tests takes place in small groups depending on the language chosen (French or English) and the location (at Sciences Po or remotely).
