EDUCATION ABROAD

The University Program at the Sciences Po Summer School provides university students, graduates and professionals an engaging learning experience and a unique opportunity to discover Sciences Po over the summer at our Paris campus!

STUDY SOCIAL SCIENCES, FRENCH LANGUAGE, OR BOTH
Participants in the Summer School’s University Program can:

• study Sciences Po’s key disciplines, such as international relations, political science, or economics, in the social sciences track,
• immerse themselves in intensive language courses in the French language track,
• combine both subjects through their choice of core and elective courses.

Both academic tracks are offered during the June and July sessions. For each session, students pick one core course from either academic track.
Students can also choose to take an optional elective course to explore a new topic, go deeper into a subject of interest or combine the study of social sciences and French language.
Students in the social sciences track can develop essential skills for their studies and the workplace with an academic and professional workshop.

STUDY IN THE HEART OF PARIS

Outside the classroom, participants will be immersed in French language and culture through daily life in Paris. From Sciences Po’s campus in the historic Saint-Germain-des-Prés neighborhood, students can easily reach some of Paris’ most famous landmarks by foot. Learn more about exploring Paris.
