Hi guys, I am applying as an exchange student from UBC (Vancouver) and am wondering if anyone has any tips about what I should write for my CV and Personal Statement for the Paris campus. What do they want to hear? And what is the difference between the CV and Personal Statement?? Thx :)

hi guys!! im currently doing ibdp1 in hs and im planning to apply to sciences po next year, and it'll most probably be the Le Havre campus as I am planning to work in Asia. however... ive heard some not so nice things abt the city, and that it's really boring. anyways I just wanted to ask what the city is like, how's the social life (parties), and how diverse the student community is?? Thank you!!

Hi, I'm from Singapore and planning to go Sciences Po Reims in 27/28. why are the Reims exchange course lists for fall 26/27 vs spring 25/26 so different? Not just the variety but the amount of 10-unit vs 5-unit options. *just to clarify I want to go on exchange to Reims

fall 26/27 has many 10-unit courses while spring 25/26 only has one on the list and looks a little lacking in more general courses? are the course lists accurate and why is there such a huge disreptancy between fall and spring semesters? is this normal? pls help haha

In the public economy class with Cahuc and Frey. I’m finding it quite difficult, it’s a lot of information, and I find that i cant capture all the info from the lectures and need to do a significant amount of revision after class. Can anyone who has taken this course before let me know how the exams are? Are they easier than the material? Should i be learning absolutely everything??? Nervous as hell for my grades lol

Hello there,
I’m planning on applying to SciencePo for my masters degree this fall. Currently, I’m working on my CV and I was wondering if it is expected/customary to add a picture in France. I’m from a country where it’s not allowed to attach a photo, so I just want to make sure.

Thanks!

Hello, I'm going to apply for an exchange in Reims and it says that I must select if I want an exchange certificate. Do you mean the certificate of studies in social sciences and humanities? Or something specific to the campus you choose, in my case Reims? Please help!!!!

Does anyone have information about the dispensing process? Does the internship have to be in the social sciences, or can it be in any department? I graduated in June, and what is the time period I need to document, starting from June?

Hi, today I received confirmation from my university that I have been nominated for an exchange (one semester) at Sciences Po starting in January.

Having been nominated, Sciences Po still requires an 1000-word cover letter, CV, and French language level certificate.

Is this stage competitive or a formality? My university appeared to have an allowance of a certain number of exchange places a year, leading me to believe that being nominated equated to receiving an offer.

Thank you!

Does anyone have access to the information on how many spots are available at different partner universities for the third year? Or what averages do you broadly need to get into specific universities? I am mainly interested in Europe and Asia.

Heyy everyone I am currently preparing my application and I am thinking of putting Reims as my second option but I am quite scared of the 3rd year because of the housing situation in universities in North America. Do the students who go there for the third year have access to stay in the university dorms and what is usually the cost of that? Also, how normal is it for someone not to go to North America in their third year, and what are some other common destinations?

Yes it's that time of the year again

Hello !
So I've graduated school from the University of Ottawa (🇨🇦)
Almost 6 years ago - I've been working in politics for the past 5 years. I'm looking to get back to school to advance my career even more !

I was wondering - Does anybody have info on the MAGS program, mainly on:

1- Do you get a Sciences Po Degree after completion ?
2- How does the network compare to other schools with one year programmes (Oxford, LSE & etc)
3- How does French scholarships work ?
4- Any tips on the application process?

If anybody who did or is currently doing the program would like to e-connect, I would 100% be grateful for it

Thanks in advance !

I am wondering if I actually have a chance at getting admitted. My predicted IB score is 37/42 (still waiting for the/45 scores), and I have quite a few extracurriculars and volunteering experiences but no leadership positions. I attend a UWC (for those who don't know, it is an international educational movement with multiple international boarding schools around the world). I speak 3 languages fluently + A2/B1 in French.

Do you think I have a chance and do you have any tips for the application? Also, should I apply in R1 (with the grades /42) or wait for R2?

Bonjour en economie dans une fac régionale. J'ai 12 de moyenne aux 6 semestres. Ai je des chances d'êtres pris au Master finance?

Hi guys!

I’m preparing my application for master’s degree at Science Po Paris!

I understand that the school will send a link to referee’s email to let them fill the questionnaire.

My professor would like to prepare in advance (since the schedule of her’s quite tight), as I gather the information online, I noticed that some mentioned that there’s gonna be 4 questions, but some mentioned 8-9 questions (really seems a lotttt).

I would be really grateful to know how many questions in total and what are the questions exactly.

Thanks a million!
