Overview

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.

Graduate destinations

A particularly attractive feature of the Sciences Po-LSE MPP/MPA double degree is the outstanding opportunity for developing professional skills and experience to give you a head start over other graduates in seeking post-study employment in a relevant sector.

The double degree is an excellent career decision with many global employers attracted to both the intellectual rigour and the practical applications of the course.

The Public Administration degree from London School of Economics and Political Science equips professionals with the skills to make an immediate impact for employers in the public sector, private companies, non-governmental and inter-governmental organisations around the world, including government departments and agencies, consultancies and international development agencies.

Students will benefit from the careers support and resources of both prestigious institutions.
