Designed for internationally minded graduates who want to translate economic theory into real policy, the Sciences Po International Economic Policy master pairs quantitative rigour with the school's long tradition in political and social science. Taught in English over two years in Paris, it suits applicants aiming for roles where trade, finance and public decision-making intersect — from multilateral institutions and central banks to government ministries and development banks.
The master in international economic policy at Sciences Po builds progressively. Early semesters ground students in international trade, economic development, global financial systems and research methods, before advancing into monetary policy, economic governance and trade agreements. Later study turns to specialised themes such as sustainable growth, trade policy and economic sanctions, closing with an independent thesis. Delivered within the Paris School of International Affairs, the programme places students at the heart of Europe's diplomatic and economic networks.
