Institut d'études politiques de Lille
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Institut d'études politiques de Lille or Sciences Po Lille or IEP Lille is an IEP based in Lille. Along with the IEP de Rennes, it was the latest IEP to be set up, in 1992.
As with most IEPs, it aims to give its students training in the civil service, but it specialises in European and International studies, unlike the rest of the IEPs. The institute also has an agreement with the renowned school of Journalism ESJ.
The curriculum at the IEP is at the crossroads of law, history, economics, political science and sociology. Students are taught at least two foreign languages and spend one year abroad. Entrance to the IEP can be achieved through highly selective exams.
From the second year, there are 5 paths to choose from: public administration; politics, economy and society; economy and finance; European studies; International relations.
The university partners universities abroad as a part of the "double degree" scheme, namely the University of Kent in England with the Franco-British double degree course, the University of Salamanca in Spain, the University of Munster and the University of Constance in Germany.
