Applying to Sciences Po: your questions
How can Dimensions France help me get into Sciences Po?
We start from your profile: your grades, your degree, your budget and what you want to do after your studies. From that we help you choose the Sciences Po programme where your application is strongest. Then we build the application with you, so that it is as strong as it can be: we work on your CV and statement of purpose, check every document the procedure asks for, and submit the file on time. Applications to Sciences Po from outside the EU go through Campus France’s Études en France procedure, where each answer about your study plan is read closely, so we work on those answers with you. Sciences Po makes the final decision, and admission is never guaranteed.
What does a strong application to Sciences Po need?
Three things carry most of the weight: your academic record, a statement of purpose that explains why this programme fits your studies so far and your plans, and proof of your level in the teaching language. Public universities compare many files for a limited number of places, so a study plan that is clear and consistent matters as much as your marks. We read your file the way an admissions team would, tell you honestly where it is weak, and help you fix what can be fixed before it is sent.
What English level do I need for Sciences Po?
For the English-taught programmes it lists in the Campus France catalogue, Sciences Po asks for IELTS 6.0 to 7.0 or TOEFL iBT 90 to 100 (level B2), depending on the programme. Some schools waive the test if your previous degree was taught in English. We check the exact score for the programme you choose before you book a test.
When should I apply to Sciences Po?
For a September start at Sciences Po, the application period runs from October to December of the year before. There is one main round a year, so a late file usually means waiting a full year. Start preparing your documents well before October.
Which programmes at Sciences Po are taught in English?
49 of the programmes listed on this page are taught fully in English, including Dual Bachelor's Degree in Social Sciences and Humanities - Economics, with the University of Sydney, Dual Bachelor's Degree in Social Sciences and Humanities, Sciences Po (France) and Columbia University (New York, USA), Dual Bachelor's Degree in Social Sciences and Humanities, with Keio University and Dual Bachelor's Degree in Social Sciences and Humanities, with National University of Singapor (NUS). 2 more are taught partly in English. Tell us your background and we will tell you which of them you are eligible for.
What does it cost to apply to Sciences Po with Dimensions France?
One fee of €250 covers your whole admissions file: up to 7 public universities, up to 3 partner schools and any number of top schools. It is paid in full when you start and is not refundable. Tuition and any application fee charged by Sciences Po are paid to the school and are separate.
