Sciences Po
speciality: Social Policy

While Science Po is a prestigious institution and I am very lucky to have been chosen to be part of the upcoming cohort of students, I have found that for EU nationals with parent’s paying taxes outside of the EU, the international fees apply. This was quite a shock for me when I realised and so it is important to keep in mind. Nevertheless, there is an option of proving your financial independence by having a job on the side. This is what I am trying to now sought out.

While the classes are interesting and taught by world class teachers, the real highlight is the environment and the networking opportunities: it is common to get a job offer while still studying!
The campus is a bit cramped thought, but it still has character.

I did my Master’s in public policy from Sciences PO and graduated in 2020.
Went on to work for Nestle as the degree from this school is very valued. My suggestion would be to have a solid foundation in policy and relevant experience as this Master’s is difficult.

Inasmuch as Public Affairs are concerned, SciencesPo’s courses are some of the best. As well as being a useful springboard for students who envisage sitting for various civil-service exams, the classes help one grasp the various facets of policy and public decision-making.

I almost always had top-notch teachers, each of whom brought their wealth of experience to the classroom. This was in turn enriched by the fact that most students are knowledgeable, inquisitive and have lots of personalities.

Last, SciencesPo regularly organises conferences with leading decision makers (Heads of state/government, civil servants…) who offer some of the best insights in their respective fields, making the student experience all the more eye-opening and colourful.

The campus location is exceptional, the infrastructure decent (and improving, with a new library due in 2022) and the student societies vibrant.

I’d love to do it again.

Some classes are excellent. Good alumni network/opportunities. Many interesting lectures and conferences with professionals. It is in paris. An incredible diversity of the students. Many different programs in masters that you can build yourself. DOuble degrees with other universities. Possibility to spend a year abroad.
