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.

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 2025-2026 academic year, get in touch with our colleagues from the Global Opportunities LSE (GO LSE) team: ard.exchanges@lse.ac.uk
