Bachelor of Arts (Undergraduate College) – English-taught options: Le Havre campus or Reims North America minor

About the course

A multidisciplinary social sciences bachelor covering subjects such as politics, economics, law, history and sociology, with a regional focus that depends on the campus. Only two options are taught in English with no French required: the Le Havre campus and the North America minor at the Reims campus.

Entry requirements for Irish students

• Sciences Po’s international pathway is for applicants preparing a foreign (non-French) secondary school diploma only, so the Leaving Certificate is eligible. Sciences Po publishes no Leaving Cert grade, subject or Higher Level rule, and there is no national rule in France, so confirm with Sciences Po admissions how your Higher Level results are assessed.
• Selection is on the written application, with an admission interview for shortlisted candidates.
• English: a C1 level is required for Le Havre and the Reims North America minor, assessed especially at the interview. No language certificate is required at application, though test scores may be added. French is not required for these two options.
