• General information

     

    Sciences Po Strasbourg was founded in 1945 as the offspring of the Second World War. It is a prestigious Grande École within the University of Strasbourg, and one of the oldest French Institutes of Political Studies (IEP). Sciences Po Strasbourg offers students an interdisciplinary formation in the fields of history, economics, sociology, law, international relations and indeed, political science. Science Po’s graduates are to be found as executives in both the public and private sector, although the interdisciplinarity allows for very diverse career opportunities.

  • Role of the institution regarding cross-border issues

    Sciences Po Strasbourg has been part of several Jean Monnet Actions, among which the current network “Borders in Motion” (FRONTEM), the Franco-German Excellence Centre, and two Chairs “European narratives of borders” (one in History of European Integration and the other in EU law).

    Sciences Po Strasbourg also leads, as part of its Jean Monnet actions, several events, allowing for cross-border researchers, PhD candidates and actors to meet and exchange about cross-border cooperation and conflict resolution.

    Different master’s degree courses allow for members of partner institutions to provide classes on cross-border related subjects in Sciences Po Strasbourg, as the master “Administration Locale et Régionale en Europe” or “Frontières: Coopérations et Conflits.”
