I am currently in my 3rd year of my Bachelor’s degree at Sciences Po. After some reflection, I believe Sciences Po was a great school for me personally. Before going, I was not sure what exact career path I should take, but I knew it had to be social Sciences, humanities, politics or something similar to those disciplines. Through the curriculum and our obligatory Civic project, I found out that I actually wanted to do law. This was not an issue as Sciences Po has a law school to which all bachelor students can continue after they finish their undergraduate degree. But my friends for example chose to do economics, literature or art and we were all accomodated and able to pursue these different disciplines, which I think is quite rare. Also, Sciences Po encourages you to go abroad and also experience different cultures and countries, which I think is really enriching. As part of the third year students have to pick a university abroad (or internship) to round out their college experience. The school is great if you need financial aid, for those who are European Union citizens and from low income families, it is likely that not only will your tuition fees be 0 but you will also get a scholarship from the school automatically. Overall, the campus (Reims for me) was beautiful, the school helps you develop your career path and supports you. I am very happy with what it gave me amd would not switch if I had the chance.

One of the biggest strengths of Sciences Po’s study programme is its combination of a multidisciplinary foundation with a geographical concentration. The multidisciplinary nature of the degree is particularly great for students who have a broad academic interest coming out of high school. In your two years at Sciences Po, you will be taught the fundamentals in a wide range of disciplines, including: political science, economics, history, sociology and aspects of law. A geographical concentration is what makes Sciences Po’s study programme all the more unique. By focusing on the global issues and trends which interest you the most, you develop an expertise in a certain region which you can then explore in your third year abroad.
