HKU and Sciences Po Launch Dual Degree Programme

President Peter Mathieson and Mr Frédéric Mion, President of Sciences Po signing a Memorandum of Understanding for the HKU-Sciences Po Dual Degree Programme in Paris in January, 2016.

HKU and Sciences Po are collaborating to launch an undergraduate dual degree programme in the coming 2016–2017 academic year. President Peter Mathieson and Mr Frédéric Mion, President of Sciences Po, signed the HKU-Sciences Po Dual Degree Programme agreement in Paris in January, 2016.

The new programme capitalises on the strengths of the two world-class universities and aims to provide a global education for students interested in business, humanities or social sciences. Successful completion of this programme will give students Bachelor’s degrees from both universities.

The first two years of study will be at Sciences Po in France and will include a common core of social sciences courses – law, economics, history, political science, sociology and programmes with a regional focus. Students will spend their third and fourth years at HKU pursuing a major in one of three faculties: Arts, Business and Economics, or Social Sciences. Exceptional students may be awarded a scholarship covering full tuition plus an annual HK$40,000 living allowance.

Sciences Po, established in 1872, is a world preeminent university in the social sciences and humanities, with its alumni playing an important role in both public and private sectors around the world.
