Sciences Po-Bocconi Double Degree

Highlights

Bocconi and Sciences Po are pleased to announce a new Double Degree program in the area of European and International Public Policy and Politics for outstanding students, taught by renowned experts in public policy and politics. 

Your first year is spent at Bocconi University in Milan, where you will study the MSc in Politics and Policy Analysis; your second year will be at the Institut d'Ecole Politique Sciences Po in Paris, where you will study the Master in Public Policy or the Master in European Affairs.

The Master in Public Policy is anchored in social sciences, with a focus on exploring the intersection between public affairs and cutting-edge technologies, and an emphasis on policy and decision making 2.0. To equip students with a multidimensional and panoramic vision, the curriculum is built around a thorough core module in public economics, public policy, ethics, technology, management, international governance and law, with a choice of a variety of electives that examine current policy debates with insights from academics and practitioners.

The Master in European Affairs offers a comprehensive program of instruction for students keen to embark on European careers. The objective of this Master is to educate specialists in European issues who can easily adapt to a multicultural and multidisciplinary environment.

Furthermore, participants will enjoy a unique combination of courses and internships, and will gain research experience while completing their thesis.

At graduation, students will receive the Sciences Po Master in Public Policy or Master in European Affairs and the Bocconi MSc in Politics and Policy Analysis.

Applicants to this program are required to complete a specific application.
