International Dual Bachelor’s Degrees
Two years at Sciences Po + two years at the partner university
Sciences Po offers dual Bachelor’s degrees with nine of the world’s leading universities, allowing students to study as fully-
integrated members of two distinct academic cultures. Students from all around the world are recruited jointly by both
institutions and form close-knit cohorts that are fully-integrated into the larger communities of their two universities.
The first two years of all dual Bachelor’s programmes take place on one of Sciences Po’s campuses, where participants
pursue the undergraduate curriculum and their choice of major. In years 3 and 4 at the partner university, students pursue a
major offered by the host institution. Upon successful completion of the two curricula, students graduate with two
Bachelor’s degrees, offering exceptional access to prestigious graduate studies or to entry into the job market.

Participants have the opportunity to experience Sciences Po’s academic environment and to become a part of its international community. It features two distinct programmes: the University Programme, for university students and graduates, and the Pre-College Programme, for secondary school students. The University Programme takes place on the Paris campus in two separate, four-week sessions during the months of June and July. Through its intensive academic programme, participants may delve into Sciences Po’s core social sciences disciplines, study French language and culture, or mix both subjects. In 2017, the Pre-College Programme introduced secondary students to student life and academics at Sciences Po during two weeks on its historic Reims campus. Through challenging coursework that combined social sciences and language study, students got a taste of the Sciences Po experience.
