Throughout the program of study, special attention is paid to preparing students for a career, from initial internships to business projects.
Internships/Apprenticeships
Throughout their studies, students complete internships in public, private and non-profit organizations. Six types of internships are possible:
- the compulsory Sciences Po internship (six weeks or longer): completed between the second year and before starting the fifth year, in France or abroad.
- the compulsory internship of the French-German degree program (six weeks or longer): completed between the second year and before starting the fifth year, in France or abroad.
- the international internship of the INSA-Sciences Po degree program (eight weeks or longer): completed in third year, abroad.
- the optional internship (any length): at any time, at the initiative of the student, who sends an application and resume to the Career Center.
- the international internship (four months or longer): completed during the third year (abroad).
- the Master/Apprenticeship internship: compulsory in fifth-year professional Master’s programs.
Students can find practical information on their intranet platform (Career Center)

The Employment Forum is an opportunity for students in different years of study to meet directly with program directors and alumni and discuss their future career goals.
