• Master’s level exchange students

If you are an international student and your university insists that you must study at Master’s level, please read this carefully.

We run a number of MA programmes called « parcours ». Most only run in the fall semester (most students complete an internship in the spring). The ECTS for each class are indicated in the « programme » tab for each parcours. 

Only programmes available in Spring semester:

MMO (Middle Eastern and Mediterranean studies) 4th year (French taught)

GE (European Governance) 4th year (English taught) 18 ECTS (Jan-Feb) and 12 ECTS internship from March

Our master’s have a restricted number of spaces, so if you wish to study at graduate level, you (or your supervisor) must contact incomingmobility@sciencespo-grenoble.fr to formulate your request.  Places will be assigned on a first come first served basis as some Master’s programmes (GE…) are rapidly oversubscribed.

Only the 4^th year of the GE (European Governance) degree is open to exchange students.

If you have very good level French (B2+), to avoid schedule clashes, you should join one year group (A4 or A5) of ONE Master’s programme (choose here http://www.sciencespo-grenoble.fr/formations/master-second-cycle/).  You will earn 30 ECTS if you complete the whole semester of study.  A sport option is possible (choose an FP – ungraded module), if it fits with your schedule.

If you DO NOT have very good level French, we have ONE Master’s programme taught in English: MA in European studies “master GE” (between 20-30 ECTS per semester).  To join it, you must have good knowledge of European law, economics, politics and excellent English (if this is not the case, you must join the undergraduate international tracks). A sport option is possible (choose an FP – ungraded module), if it fits with your schedule.

NB To avoid schedule clashes, you must not mix 2 different master’sprogrammes and not mix undergraduate and graduate level classes.
