Student visa and housing application

Can any international 2As or 3As preferably from Southeast Asia and/or studying at Le Havre tell me when yall started your housing and student visa application? I joined the info session with the Director of the Le Havre campus and he mentioned that we should wait until Sciences Po sends us a "Welcome Email" detailing everything you need to integrate (housing, visas, bank accounts, sims, etc) before trying to book anything. Problem is, he mentioned that we'll probably get this email in late May, which means I'll have less than 3 months to get my housing and visa ready before we start the academic year. So should I wait for that "Welcome Email" or should I start my housing and visa applications now?

Hi everyone! I just got an email from Sciences Po saying: the "admissibility" committee has selected your application for the second step of the selection process and has declared you "admissible" to the two-year master's programme at Sciences Po you are applying to.

Menton housing

I just got into the Menton campus and checked the SPo housing portal, but the options are so old and terrible. Do people normally live in Nice or where do I find a housing option? Is the women’s residence good? Please help🙏🏻

Master’s admission: late graduation and possible deferral?

Hi everyone, sorry to bother, but I’d like to ask for some advice because I searched online and still have a few doubts.

I applied in the 5th admissions round for the Master in International Governance and Diplomacy and I’m currently waiting for the final decision. I’m also in the last year of my bachelor’s degree.

The issue is that, due to some health reasons (I'm struggling a lot with an eating disorder) and delays related to my dissertation, I may not be able to graduate by September 2026. In my university system, even if all exams are completed beforehand, the final 9 ECTS credits are awarded only after the dissertation defense session, and the next available session after summer would be in early November (by the 6th)

So my questions are:

  • if admitted, would Sciences Po potentially allow a short delay in graduation/registration in this kind of situation?
  • alternatively, is it possible to request a one-year deferral for health and academic reasons?
  • and if a deferral is granted, would I still be expected to provide the bachelor’s diploma by September?

Thank you very much, and good luck to everyone who needs it!

Global Law Degree or an LLB

Dear all,

I‘ve been admitted to the Global Law Track, LLB ( LNAT university) and Sciences Po. My parents have paid only for the Global Law programme.

Though, I would ideally want to pursue law in the US (eagerly waiting Trump to get the fuck out), with my second option if authoritarianism perseveres being to obtain an LLM in the UK.

I see Sciences Po as an opportunity to learn more languages, which would help my career if I chose to work for the institutions. I got admitted to the North American minor.

  1. Would you say that the Bocconi law degree is worth it?

  2. From the benefit of hindsight, what would you do if you were in my shoes?

The interviewers were very nice and they seemed very interested in me, they did make me feel comfortable.

I did repeat myself a few times during the image analysis but they gave me new angles to describe from and i think that it went well.

During the free discussion i did answer all of their questions except one that i didn't understand because of their accent, but they laughed it off and asked me something similar.

So overall i think that it went okay maybe? Hoping for the best

When will the R3 results be released?

I checked and found that the results are expected to come out around mid-May. However, I’m not sure whether Sciences Po may release them earlier or later than that. Does anyone know roughly when the results will be released?

Hey, how are you guys looking for housing for september? Any tips for PSIA in Paris, this is already stressing me out. Should I wait to see apartments live before paying for something, or secure it and get it before seeing it in person in august?

Heya. I just got accepted as an exchange student in the Reims campus for next year and was wondering if there's any group chat that I can join. It would be great to connect with others before the start of the year!

I am currently waiting for Boutmy waitlist to move. Fortunately, my Eiffel application was successful. I would be more than happy to know if smb was in a similar situation in previous years and how it worked out in the end. Did you end up going? Got the Boutmy too? anything..

Hi, Im an American junior in highschool and Sciencespo is one of my dream universities to get into. Specifically, I want to go to the Menton campus. Unfortunately my grades this year and last year fall short of what Sciencespo is probably looking for (Bs and Cs mainly) so I feel like i need to really strengthen my extracurriculars to recover from that roadblock.

So far I have:

300+ hours of volunteering for my school’s theatre department and an NPO (both unrelated to politics so kind of random i feel)

TEDxYouth Speech

2 papers I wrote for AP Seminar that Im looking to get published

A TikTok account that i used to spread awareness about families in Gaza (i think i actually got people to donate from this)

6 passed AP exams

So what else can i do over the summer to strengthen my application? Should I start a club at my school?

Thank you for reading 😊
