Sciences Po Aix

Founded in 1956, Sciences Po Aix is one of the ten Political Studies Institutes in France, and the only one situated on the Mediterranean coast. It combines a culture of excellence and multidisciplinary ambition, resolutely pointing towards firms (80% of our graduates), high-ranking civil service (entrance exams) and research. A qualification recognized both in France and abroad Sciences Po Aix is only accessible through a very selective entrance exam. During their course,all the students spend a year abroad, either in a university or a company. This confirms the international vocation of the school. The last two years of the course are open to outside candidates and are characterised by a more in-depth specialisation, leading to three types of Masters Degree: Professional, Research or a combination ofboth. At the end of their studies in Sciences Po Aix, the students who complete the five year course will receive a double diploma; the Political Studies Institute of Aix-en-Provence diploma, and the Sciences Po Masters degree relevant to their specialisation.
