Sciences Po Lyon

• Founded in 1948, Sciences Po Lyon is a public higher education institute specialising in Human and Social Sciences and training future executives in the public and private sectors.
• Since 2017, Sciences Po Lyon has operated two campuses: the historical campus in Lyon city centre and a second in Saint-Étienne.

Our educational model is similar to that of Anglo-Saxon Schools of Public Affairs or School of Government. Our teaching is fuelled by a constant quest for excellence and cultivates a multi-disciplinary approach in human and social sciences based on four fundamental disciplines: history, law, political science and economy. On top of these, all of our graduates leave with firm understandings of managerial sciences, management, information-communication and, of course, language and civilisation. Their knowledge base is broad and deep.

Research at Sciences Po Lyon is fundamental and serves to feed and develop teaching. The school supervises three research laboratories three research laboratories (Triangle, the Institute of East Asia and ELICO) to which the majority of permanent  teaching and research staff are affiliated.

• The study programme offered by Sciences Po Lyon allows each student to build a career path in line with his or her ambitions and to develop a personalized professional project.
• The five years of study are structured around a first multidisciplinary cycle in three years to build the foundation of common knowledge and a second cycle, in two years, of specialization and professionalization including internships.
