International Politics and Government Bsc

You will acquire a toolbox of soft and hard skills through active learning from a wide array of subjects: politics, economics, management, law, history and quantitative methods. Great emphasis is placed on three moments of policy-making: designing public policies which are both economically efficient and politically sustainable; implementing public policies with an effective approach; and evaluating public policies using modern quantitative and qualitative techniques.

Graduates of the program will be prepared to work at national and international public institutions, as well as nongovernmental organizations (NGOs). They will also have the knowledge and skills needed to work in the private sector, both in consultancy, lobbying and public affairs firms, and in the management of companies, especially those operating in regulated sectors and in multinational settings characterized by significant geopolitical risks.

The program aims to educate future national and international policy-makers, active players in international organizations and regulatory authorities, and managers in international private firms dealing with growing non-market environments.

The BSc offers two tracks, each of which exposes participants to different international learning environments:

• Students in the Politics and Policy Making track take part in a compulsory exchange, studying abroad at a partner university for one semester, and have the option of doing a curricular internship.
• Data, Society and Organisations is a double degree offered with HEC Paris. This track is designed for applicants with a strong interest in quantitative methods and data science. It also offers the option of doing a curricular internship.
