Sciences Po dual Bachelor’s degrees

What is a Sciences Po dual Bachelor’s degree?

A dual degree combines Sciences Po’s undergraduate education with a partner university’s programme. Students earn two qualifications, with a curriculum that connects social sciences to the partner’s academic strengths. Most international programmes involve two years at Sciences Po followed by two years at the partner institution. Duration and eligible campuses depend on the programme; not every dual degree follows the same structure.

International partners include Columbia, UC Berkeley, UCL, UBC and NUS. Sciences Po also offers dual degrees with French institutions, combining social sciences with mathematics, humanities, natural sciences or management.

Admissions: Parcoursup, Sciences Po or the partner university?

2027 entry: as of 27 September 2026, Sciences Po says that admission arrangements and the dual-degree calendar will be updated in mid-October. Dates from the 2026 cycle should not be used as 2027 deadlines. Check the official dual-degree admissions directory and each partner’s current application page.

For international dual degrees managed by Sciences Po, applicants preparing the French baccalaureate apply through Parcoursup; applicants preparing a foreign secondary-school qualification use Sciences Po’s international admission procedure. Where the partner manages admissions, you must follow that university’s application process instead. UCL, for example, uses UCAS.

Transcripts, written answers or essays, language evidence and interviews may be required. Requirements vary between programmes. Check the eligible campus, academic pathway, language level and supporting documents before starting your application. UCL and King’s College London are different institutions: King’s is not listed as a partner for these undergraduate dual degrees.

How to prepare your application

Start by choosing a coherent combination of campus, subjects and partner university. Read about both institutions and identify how their courses fit your interests. Plan transcripts and references early, prepare for any required language test and leave time to practise interviews. Your written application should explain your own academic motivation clearly and accurately.
