Sciences Po, Paris

LSE and Sciences Po launched an Undergraduate Exchange Scheme that started in the 2011-12 academic year.  This student mobility scheme enables up to 10 undergraduate students from each institution to study at the other for one academic year thus enhancing their study experience and potential career prospects.

For LSE students the year at Sciences Po is in addition to the requirements of their LSE award.  For further information please click here.

The Double Degree in Affaires Internationales was launched in 2004/05. Students spend Year 1 studying the Master Affaires Internationales  at Sciences Po in Paris and Year 2 studying one of two MSc programmes (International Relations or International Political Economy) at LSE's Department of International Relations in London.

The Double Degree in Urban Policy was launched in 2005/6. Students spend Year 1 studying the Master en Stratégies Territoriales et Urbaines at Sciences Po in Paris and Year 2 studying one of three MSc programmes (Local Economic Development; Urbanisation and Development; or Regional and Urban Planning Studies) at LSE's Department of Geography and Environment in London.

The Double Degree in European Studies was launched in 2007/08. Students spend Year 1 at Sciences Po in Paris and Year 2 studying one of three MSc programmes (European Studies: Ideas and Identities; European Political Economy; or Politics and Government in the European Union) at LSE's European Institute in London.

The Dual Masters in Public Administration (MPA) with Sciences Po was launched in 2004/05. Students follow Year 1 of the MPA programme at LSE in London and Year 2 of the Masters in Public Affairs at Sciences Po in Paris.

LSE has established PhD Student Exchange programmes with a small number of institutions around the world including Sciences Po. These exchanges offer our research students a wonderful opportunity to visit another institution, to benefit from additional research resources (archival and advisory) and to experience the academic culture and professional networks of another country. 

To apply for visits taking place during the 2022-23 academic year, get in touch with our colleagues from the Global Opportunities LSE (GO LSE) team: ard.exchanges@lse.ac.uk 

LSE and Sciences Po are delighted to continue their long-term academic collaboration through an annual faculty mobility scheme. For almost ten years now, faculty have been able to spend at least one month in a host department (or unit) at the other institution in order to: engage with students through a meaningful teaching commitment that meets a need in the host department; foster networks between colleagues at their home and host departments (or institutions); and serve wider departmental and/or institutional interests where possible.

To maximise flexibility, the scheme has been designed with the following two modes:

• Mode A: Shorter visits of 1 month, whereby visiting faculty will deliver at least 8 hours of teaching (or a short course) and spend at least 4 hours with PhD students;
• Mode B: Longer visits of 3 months, whereby visiting faculty will deliver at least 20 hours of teaching, spend at least 10 hours with PhD students and deliver a departmental or public lecture.

LSE and Sciences Po are currently working on the renewal of this arrangement and detailed information will be added as soon as possible. 

In the meantime for information you can visit this webpage and check the guidance notes for 2019-2020. 

Historically, faculty from LSE and Sciences Po have presented their work in London and Paris. Watch for instance Bruno Latour's talk on 'War and Peace in Time of Ecological Conflicts' which was recorded in February 2014.
