Graduate studies : Seven graduate schools that prepare for professional life

Graduate studies at Sciences Po are hosted within seven schools, all located on our campus in Paris. The seven schools offer a wide variety of master's programmes that take place over two years, all tailored to the professional world. We also offer international dual degrees, in which students spend one year at Sciences Po and one year abroad at the partner university.

30 Master's programmes are open to students with a Bachelor's degree or equivalent. All Master's programmes are two-years-long, with four 12-week semesters. During the second year, one semester is spent completing an internship or a field study, writing a Master's thesis, or studying at a partner university.

PhD programmes offer solid training in research. Students study for their PhD in one of Sciences Po’s 11 research centres.
