USING MULTIDISCIPLINARITY TO COMPREHEND THE DYNAMICS OF CONTEMPORARY SOCIETIES

The curriculum provides students with academic and methodological foundations in economics, history, humanities, law, political science, and sociology.

In the first year, students take introductory courses in each foundational discipline.

In the second year, students continue with advanced study of the disciplines through a multidisciplinary perspective while diving into coursework related to their multidisciplinary major of choice: Economy & Society, Political Humanities, or Politics & Government.

Students complete their major during the third year abroad, in an international academic environment.

Students develop critical thinking abilities and methodological rigour through exposure to a large variety of theories, approaches to reasoning, and viewpoints. They demonstrate these skills in their written work, oral presentations, and research by drawing on diverse sources (text, data, graphics, and video). Artistic practice and the study of literature and art (pdf in French, 276 Ko) stimulates students’ creativity and their ability to analyse contemporary political issues through new, unexpected lenses.

The cost of studying at Sciences Po varies largely depending on the type of university and the degree chosen. More often than not, humanities, arts, and education courses are less expensive than degrees in medical, engineering, or management. Furthermore, students who choose to study at the postgraduate level typically pay higher tuition fees, which again vary depending on the programme chosen.

Most universities provide scholarships or financial aid to students in order to help them offset their tuition costs. Students should be aware that additional course fees and incidental expenses may not be included in tuition. On average, international students can expect to pay ‚¬14,672 annually, to study in Sciences Po.
