European Affairs

The Bachelor in European Affairs at Sciences Po offers an in-depth exploration of the political, economic, legal, and cultural dimensions of Europe. Designed for students passionate about European integration and policy-making, the program provides a multidisciplinary curriculum that combines political science, economics, history, and international relations, fostering a comprehensive understanding of European institutions, governance, and societal challenges. Throughout the program, students engage with core topics such as European Union policies, regional development, security, and diplomacy, preparing them for careers in international organizations, government agencies, NGOs, and research institutions. The program emphasizes analytical skills, critical thinking, and effective communication, equipping graduates to navigate and influence the complex landscape of European affairs. Students benefit from a diverse and international learning environment, with opportunities for exchange programs, internships, and engaging with European policymakers and experts. The curriculum is regularly updated to reflect current developments in European integration, including digital innovation, sustainability, and geopolitics. By the end of their studies, students will have developed a nuanced understanding of Europe's role in global affairs and the ability to contribute thoughtfully to policy debates and development. The program aims to cultivate future leaders and policymakers who are committed to fostering cooperation, stability, and sustainable growth across European countries and beyond.

To equip our students with a multidimensional and panoramic vision, the curriculum is built around a thorough core module in public economics, law, public policy and ethics, with a historical and comparative approach to European affairs. 

The School also offers a broad range of policy streams of specialization in public and European affairs, taught in French or in English, completed by elective courses that examine current policy debates with insight from academics and practitioners, and opportunities offered by the Policy Lab (case studies, simulations, Civic Tech) to bridge the gap between theory and practice, decision and action.

During the fourth semester, students choose between undertaking an internship, studying at a partner university, writing a master thesis or doing an individual project, depending on their professional project. 

For upcoming applicants to the Master's degree: the Policy Stream curricula available on the website correspond to the first and second semesters for first year Master's students in the 2018 - 2019 cohort. The curricula for the third and fourth semesters on the website correspond to the academic program for second year Master's students in the 2017-2019 cohort. The possible differences in the academic requirements and courses offered are the result of modifications in the academic curriculum that took place over the last two years.
