Access conditions

Sciences Po Grenoble offers some twenty graduate programs accessible via the fourth-year entrance exam, leading to the Institut d'Etudes Politiques de Grenoble Master's degree.

Students in their 3rd year at Sciences Po Grenoble follow an early recruitment procedure.

Entrance to the program is by competitive examination, based on a portfolio presented by each candidate. It is possible to apply for 2 different courses.

This includes precise information (in particular, results from previous years) and a "candidate project" outlining, according to the standards set each year (see the Sciences Po Grenoble website at the start of the calendar year), the candidate's personal background, scientific references, career plans and expectations for their training at Sciences Po Grenoble.

Following examination of the application, candidates are placed in order of merit on an eligibility list. Admission is then decided after an interview with a panel of judges in the specialization(s) applied for.

 

Target audience :

All students with a bachelor's degree or equivalent (180 ECTS credits), validated or in the process of being validated.

Continuing education students should contact the relevant department at the school.

Online application form

All documents must be submitted via the application. No postal submissions will be accepted!
