StudentPLMenton/International Governance and DiplomacyI think Sciences Po relies more on its ranking than the quality of education. I enjoyed some classes, but especially in Bachelor’s, many were taught on a surprisingly low level. Master’s felt stronger, but it still was mostly enriched by the high level of its students. There is not enough academic support and coordination

The teaching in my Master’s program is miles ahead of what I experienced in my undergrad outside of Paris. I’m really happy with my current program, but the other was a letdown. There’s a real gap in quality between them

Political Science19 Oct, 2025 StudentFRShaping ideas that'll shape the world
Studying Political Science at Sciences Po has been a truly eye-opening experience. I really love the experience .The course pushes you to think critically about global issues, power, and policy while encouraging debate and independent thought. Classes are dynamic and discussion-based, often connecting theory directly to current world events. The professors and guest speakers bring real insight from politics, diplomacy, and journalism. It’s challenging, yes, but in the best way possible. Sciences Po doesn’t just teach politics; it teaches you how to engage with the world thoughtfully and confidently. I really love it here.

There is a big gap between the level of teaching at bachelor’s programmes outside of Paris and the teaching at the master’s programmes. I am very satisfied with the latter – not so much with the former

International Relations12 Sep, 2025 StudentA Transformative Education
My time at Sciences Po was an enriching and transformative experience that stood out for its interdisciplinary and innovative approach to teaching and learning. The curriculum encouraged me to look at complex global issues through multiple lenses, ensuring that I could develop a nuanced understanding of the challenges facing our world today. Courses are designed not only to provide strong theoretical foundations but also to bridge academic research with practical applications, making the learning process both intellectually stimulating and highly relevant.

What makes the classroom experience particularly rewarding was the calibre of the faculty. Sciences Po brings together internationally respected academics alongside accomplished practitioners from government, international organisations, NGOs, and the private sector. This mix creates a dynamic learning environment where ideas are constantly tested against real-world experience.
Equally important is the community. Sciences Po fosters a vibrant network of students from diverse backgrounds, each bringing unique perspectives to class debates and collaborative projects. The atmosphere is one of openness and curiosity, which makes it easy to form meaningful connections and to learn as much from peers as from professors. Beyond the classroom, the alumni network is active and engaged, offering valuable opportunities for mentorship and professional development.
Overall, my experience at Sciences Po combines intellectual rigour with practical insight, and personal growth with a strong sense of belonging to a global community.Programme: International RelationsDegree: Master'sGraduation: 2027Delivery Type: On CampusCampus: Paris
