Course summary

Study politics and international relations within a broader social science context in the UK and France. This challenging but rewarding bi-lingual and bi-national programme is offered in partnership with the Institut d'Etudes Politiques (IEP) de Lille, one of France’s most prestigious grandes écoles. You spend your first and fourth years of study on the Science Po Lille campus, where teaching is in French, and your second and third years at Kent. After four years, successful students gain their BA degree from the University of Kent and go on to complete a fifth year of study, normally at Lille or one of their partner institutions, to graduate with a Sciences Po diplôme. Choose to study Politics and International Relations (Bi-diplôme) because: • you’ll join the supportive and welcoming communities and gain access to world class facilities on both our Canterbury campus, and the Sciences Po Lille campus. • you’ll develop your spoken and written language skills in both French and English and obtain a degree recognised in both educational systems. • you’ll study a wide range of modules developed by our innovative lecturers, who advise governments around the world. Build your degree around your interests. • you can shape your degree outside of the classroom through our Politics and IR Society and Kent Model UN. These student-led societies host regular events, talks and debates with high-profile speakers, such as Jess Phillips MP, on tackling domestic violence.
