LSE- Sciences Po Double Master of Public Administration

About

Overview

Introduction

Introduction

The double degree is an ideal choice for early-stage professionals who want to gain expertise in policymaking and analysis and study in two historic European cities – London (LSE) and Paris (Sciences Po).

During the first year (at Sciences Po), you’ll develop your core skills in economics, politics and policymaking and specialise in one of eleven policy streams. You’ll have opportunities to take part in innovative projects such as the Public Policy Incubator programme – working alongside researchers and external partners to develop practical solutions to public policy challenges.

The second year (at LSE) builds on this learning, drawing on our strengths in empirical methods, political science and economic analysis. While at LSE, you can choose a second specialism – either in a complementary or a separate area from your first year.

You’ll complete a six-month Capstone project working on a real-world policy problem with an external partner – enhancing your professional skills and CV for your future career.

You’ll benefit from the combined resources, opportunities and networks of both prestigious institutions and gain the professional and international experience to thrive in your future career. This programme provides a gateway to high-impact roles in government, NGOs, not-for-profits, international organisations and private firms.

Students from this programme graduate with two degrees – a Master of Public Policy from Sciences Po and a Master of Public Administration from LSE.

Competition for places at LSE is strong. So, even if you meet the minimum entry requirements, this does not guarantee you an offer of a place.

However, please don’t feel deterred from applying – we want to hear from all suitably qualified students. Think carefully about how you can put together the strongest possible application to help you stand out from other students.
