Entry requirements

Programme-specific: candidates with at least an undergraduate degree apply directly on the Sciences Po website (online only); selection on the strength of the application alone, with a final decision by a jury from both universities. Open to all candidates worldwide; applicants apply through the Sciences Po graduate admissions platform (dual degree application, specific to the programme and not transferable). Admission is by evaluation of the file only (academic record, mandatory references, motivation letter written in English, relevant professional experience or internships) and a joint Sciences Po / partner committee takes the final decision. Sciences Po requires a minimum undergraduate average grade; applicants below it are automatically not admitted. Language tests (English, French or German depending on the programme) must be supplied at submission and are valid for two years. Application fee 150 EUR (100 EUR for current Sciences Po students applying through the domestic procedure). Admitted students must hold their degree before classes begin and cannot defer entry. Successful applicants may receive a conditional offer based on their academic record and/or language test scores.
