Explain Physics Po
Global research university Sciences Po has high standards
for its students and is highly selective. It is considered to be among the top
universities in the world for the humanities and social sciences.
Emile Boutmy, the founder of Sciences Po, set out to
establish an institution of higher learning that the affluent of the day
lacked. After expanding over the course of 150 years, Sciences Po's research
program currently enrolls 14,000 students worldwide. However, the primary goal
of education remains to increase our comprehension of the world in order to
effect positive changes in it.
Sciences Po is unique in that it challenges many worldviews
while combining different methodologies. Because of its varied approach and
long history, Sciences Po is a place where ideas are implemented and public
conversation is actively engaged.
A GUIDELINE TO ENSURE ACCOUNTABILITY
Preparing future leaders in the public and private sectors
is Sciences Po's primary objective. One of the main objectives of our
curriculum is for curious and receptive Sciences Po graduates to "learn
how to learn," regardless of their area of interest or career path. But we
aim even higher: we want to create enlightened, tolerant individuals who have
the capacity to transform both the world and society.
A UNIVERSITY THAT VIEWS THE WORLD
The foundational documents of Sciences Po established the
school's global reach across numerous countries. After being motivated by this
objective for nearly 150 years, Sciences Po has established a reputation as a
premier institution with internationally recognized degrees and research, a
diverse community, and a vast global network of collaborators. Science and
technology are two areas in which Sciences Po is known for being leaders.
EDUCATIONAL IMPACT AND PROFESSIONAL IMPLANTATION
The top social scientists and practitioners hold regular
conversations at Science Po. Among the more than 4,000 members of our academic
community are 2,400 practitioners. As a result, the information we teach
students is grounded in both cutting-edge research and real-world experience.
A SINGLE AND A UNIVERSITY
At Sciences Po, admission to the school is determined by a
student's academic standing. Nevertheless, it was one of the first French
universities to really embrace its social responsibilities by promoting
intellectual, geographic, and social diversity among its student body. At
Sciences Po, which admits students from about 150 countries and provides
financial aid to four out of ten of them, all abilities are welcome.
Global Understanding Studies
Sciences Po is an internationally renowned research
institution specializing in the social sciences and known for the excellence of
its scientific output. Sciences Po research is developed with a strong focus on
society and is meant to be discussed in public.
A DYNAMIC ENTITY AND A FUTURE ENTREPRENEUR
Since its foundation approximately 150 years ago, Sciences
Po has consistently reinvented itself. Above all, Sciences Po is now a place
where creative ideas can be brought to life and executed. Innovative teaching
methods, academic transparency, and creative tools are some of our defining
characteristics.
