Sciences Po

Sciences Po was created because its founder, Emile Boutmy, wanted to build from scratch an institution of higher education that the elites of the time lacked. One hundred and fifty years later, Sciences Po has become an international research university with 14,000 students. But the foundation of our education remains driven by the same vocation: to better understand the world in order to change it for the better.
Sciences Po stands out for combining approaches and confronting different worldviews. This tradition of diversity and multidisciplinary approach makes Sciences Po an active participant in public debate, a forum where thought meets action.

Sciences Po’s overarching mission is to educate future leaders in the public and private sectors. Curious and open-minded, Sciences Po graduates, regardless of their focus and trajectory, all share the ability to “learn how to learn”, which is one of the priorities of our education. However, our ambition extends even further: to educate open-minded and enlightened citizens capable of changing the world and transforming society.
At Sciences Po, the finest researchers in the social sciences engage in continual dialogue with the greatest practitioners. With an academic community of more than 4,000 academics including 2,400 practitioners, the knowledge we transmit to students is nurtured by innovative research and rooted in reality.

Sciences Po is a research university in the social sciences, internationally recognised for the quality of its scientific output. Developed with a strong focus on society, research conducted at Sciences Po enriches public debate.

It is well established in the local region and works in close partnership with its socio-economic partners. With over 300 international partners across the globe and an ever-growing list of dual degrees, the University of Angers has a definite international dimension.

The University of Angers makes every effort to help its 25,000 students achieve academic success and find employment. For several years now it has had the highest pass rate in France for 3-year bachelor’s degree courses, thanks to its lecturers and researchers and to the measures implemented in favour of high school and university students.

At high school level the University of Angers has created a full package of measures to support future students in their training choices and foster their integration and success during their first year at university. UA is also working hard to guide its students when taking their first steps in higher education (through tutoring programmes, small-group work, continuous assessment…) and to help them with extra-curricular tasks (thanks to the InfoCampus desk where student advisors provide information on transport, accommodation, grants, etc.)

The Ip’Oline platform allows access to internships and job offers, as well as networking with other students, alumni, teachers and businesses. This approach clearly works since UA boasts a 90% employability rate 30 months after graduation.

University of Clermont

The University of Clermont Auvergne was created on 1 January 2017. This decision was the result of a process of reflection since 2012 on how best to structure the site to make the most of the new framework introduced by the 2013 Act on higher education and research. The stakes are high. While deliberately participating in national and international networks for the production and spread of knowledge, the University also contributes to the ecosystem in Auvergne alongside regional socio-economic players and local authorities; the aim of this new University is to be a driving force for the development of higher education and research in Auvergne, for the benefit of users and all players in the region, and to further enhance its quality, influence and attractiveness. By doing so, it also contributes to the national territorial restructuring and to the construction of a major, European-scale Auvergne Rhône Alpes region.

In effect, this creation forms a fundamental part of a new ambition for the University to fulfil more effectively its role to provide a public service, to increase its presence and influence at regional, national and international level and to harness all the resources, capabilities and skills available in the two institutions to this end, for the benefit of both students and society as a whole.

This new ambition is rendered achievable through optimal use of the teaching, scientific, administrative and technical skills available. The aim is to create a new, dynamic, attractive and responsible university, open to its social, economic and cultural environment and to the wider world and fully equipped to meet the five major challenges facing our university community.

The University of Clermont Auvergne intends to apply an innovative policy in terms of higher and further education programmes, research and the professional insertion of its students, across all disciplines, while playing a major role in the heart of the city and on the international scene.

Université Côte d’Azur

Université Côte d’Azur has been an experimental university since 1 January 2020 replacing both the Université Nice Sophia Antipolis created in 1965 and the Communauté d’Universités et d’Etablissements Université Côte d’Azur created in 2015.

Université Côte d’Azur now includes 17 major academic establishments around the historic university core to create one of France’s top 10 research-intensive universities.

Since 1 January 2020, Université Côte d’Azur has been officially recognized as an experimental university. This new academic status helps develop a bold and independent strategy based on:

breaking down the barriers between education, research and innovation,
developing agility and responsiveness through the increased autonomy of the units,
the ability to harness the amazing potential for diversity represented by its 17 members.

It is based in particular on setting up University Research Schools and giving them this essential role of redesigning university architecture. It also accelerates the implementation of a “Bac-3/Bac+3” principle aimed at effectively combating failure at schools and universities. Finally, it opens up the field of possibilities on the density and diversity of public-private partnerships and on the university’s overall funding model.
