Information sessions pour 2010-2011 (new)

October 9th, Asia Day is a must for preparing your study project !

Why study in Asia?

Sciences Po has partner universities in 10 countries across the Asia-Pacific region. All of these are internationally recognised universities, a number of which are specialised institutions for political and strategic studies.

Studying in Asia provides Sciences Po students with a unique cultural experience. You will learn first-hand about a region that is constantly increasing its political, economic and demographic influence on the international scene. Importantly, choosing an Asian destination provides you with the opportunity to improve your Asian language skills or to start learning a new Asian language. Additionally, students may also significantly improve their English by enrolling in high-level courses taught in English.

Sciences Po has staff representation in Beijing, Tokyo and New Delhi. To learn more about Sciences Po's activities in Asia, visit Science Po's country sites for Japan and China (sites for Korea, India and Australia/New Zealand are coming soon).
