For almost 150 years, Sciences Po has devoted
itself to training women and men for positions
of responsibility: decision-making roles in which
they become both talented leaders and responsible
citizens.
We are committed to continuing the work that
Sciences Po’s founder, Émile Boutmy, began. In 1872,
Boutmy established an institution that would educate
the leaders of tomorrow, by way of a unique
curriculum that sets humanities and social sciences
at its core.
We are also convinced of the potential of talent,
the world’s most durable resource for confronting
upcoming changes and challenges.
Research
At Sciences Po, more than 250 dedicated researchers
and professors in the humanities and social sciences
study changes in the contemporary world and its
various challenges. Their work – which aims to understand political
and economic phenomena and their social and
technological impact – unfolds within the wider
domains of global health, education, urban
development, international security, the environment,
democracy, and many others.
Since its establishment over 150 years ago, Sciences
Po has not ceased evolving and developing.
Today, Sciences Po is among the finest research
institutions in Europe, with a resolutely international
outlook manifested in its internationally recognised
research and degrees, multicultural community,
and network of partners across the globe.
This global reach is mirrored in the expansion of our
ever-growing campus in France. We offer our students
a unique educational experience that can take place
on any of our seven multicultural campuses, each
of which specialises in its own geographical region.
Executive Education
For 50 years, Sciences Po Executive Education
has been bringing the educational mission and the
academic excellence of Sciences Po ever closer
to the realities of working life for professionals.
We are here to give to executives, to directors,
and to the companies that they work for, the keys
to knowledge that will one day become the keys
to action.
That is why over 4,000 professionals attend courses
each year on our site in the heart of Paris and the
historic Saint-Germain-des-Prés neighbourhood.
Human richness plays an ever more central role in
our courses. We believe that what will distinguish the
organisations of tomorrow, be they private or public,
is the degree to which they foster innovation and
allow their staff to reveal their talents.
Nourished by the humanities and social sciences,
inspired by the work of our academics, and driven
by the conviction that learning must be pursued
throughout life, our courses go beyond the simple
transmission of skills and knowledge. They prepare
individuals and their organisations for the challenges
of tomorrow, giving them the boldness they need
to reveal themselves and reinvent themselves.
