Sciences Po, Grenoble

Founded in 1948, Sciences PO Grenoble is one of the nine Institutes of Political Studies in France placed under the aegis of the National Foundation of Political Science. Its rigorous admissions process, solely by competitive exam, places it in the category of the Grandes Ecoles.As members of the institute – be they professors, secretaries, students, journalists or university colleagues – have always referred to it as Sciences PO Grenoble, we have chosen to officialize the name and make it our new signature.A taste for action, scientific rigor, intellectual agility, moral uprightness… These are the qualities that Sciences PO Grenoble instills through all its programs in order to train brilliant, competent and responsible decision makers. Within this framework, it is up to each student to find the path to his or her own intellectual and personal development.Whereas the second/graduate cycle emphasizes professionally oriented specialization, the first/undergraduate cycle offers a panorama of the humanities and social sciences in interaction with the main problems addressed in political science.The Sciences PO diplomas deserve their reputation and open the door to numerous professional opportunities. The institute’s alumni – members of a very active alumni association – are now executives in national public administrations, local government and businesses. Many of them work in political institutions, the media or international organizations. Certain graduates prefer to prepare administrative exams (ENA) or begin a doctorate.
