Dear Colleagues,


I hope this email finds you well.

I am pleased to announce that Sciences Po is now accepting applications for
its 2022 Summer School
<http://www.sciencespo.fr/summer/content/university-programme-overview>.
This intensive programme, featuring courses in both the social sciences and
French language, is an excellent *opportunity for students from our partner
universities to discover Sciences Po over the course of the summer*. To
enable all students around the world to participate in the programme,
despite current travel restrictions, we are glad to announce that* the 2022
Summer School will offer both on-campus and online options! *

The Summer School's University Programme is held in two separate sessions
during the months of June and July.  Students have the choice to attend one
or both sessions.

*2022 Calendar*

   - *June session*: June 7th - July 1st, 2022. Application deadline: 14th
   of April 2022
   - *July session*: July 4th - July 29th 2022. Application deadline: 12th
   of May 2022

*Academic programme*: The Summer School offers two academic tracks, in
social sciences and French language. Both tracks are available in each
session of the Summer School.

   - In the social sciences track
   <http://www.sciencespo.fr/summer/content/social-sciences> (*online or on
   campus*), students select one core class for intensive study over the
   course of 36 contact hours, on topics ranging from international relations
   to political science to economics, as well as interdisciplinary studies of
   contemporary issues. Classes are led by Sciences Po professors and
   researchers and are taught in English. Successful completion of a course
   awards students 6 ECTS credits. 2 classes in June and 3 classes in July
   will be offered exclusively online. Course descriptions are available on
   the website.
   - In the French language track
   <http://www.sciencespo.fr/summer/content/french-language> (*on campus
   only*), participants are placed at one of six levels adapted to their
   knowledge of the language (from total beginners to advanced). Over the
   course of 66 contact hours, students complete an intensive language
   programme including French language classes, oral expression workshops and
   written expression workshops. Successful completion of a course awards
   students 6 ECTS credits.
   - All participants coming on campus will have the possibility to choose
   additional elective courses
   <http://www.sciencespo.fr/summer/content/elective-courses> to complete
   24 hours of additional study on a variety of topics (French language,
   French history...). Successful completion of an elective class awards
   students 3 ECTS credits.

*Outside of class*: Students who will join the University Programme in
Paris will follow their classes in the Paris campus
<http://www.sciencespo.fr/summer/content/campus>, in the heart of the Saint
Germain-des-Prés neighbourhood. Our programme features a variety of
extracurricular
activities
<http://www.sciencespo.fr/summer/content/cultural-visits-and-activities>
(conferences
with guest speakers, guided visits to Parisian museums and monuments,
weekend trips, etc.) over the course of the summer. Students may live
in student
residence halls or host families
<http://www.sciencespo.fr/summer/content/accommodation> with other
programme participants, or choose to find their own housing if they so
desire.

*Applying*: The Summer School is open to students from across the world.
The eligibility criteria
<http://www.sciencespo.fr/summer/content/eligibility> and application
procedure <http://www.sciencespo.fr/summer/content/how-apply> are detailed
on the Summer School website.  Candidates must apply through our online
application system. Tuition fees
<https://www.sciencespo.fr/summer/content/tuition-and-fees.html> may differ
depending on the course format (online or on-campus).

*Covid-19 Information*: At this time, Sciences Po plans to hold part of its
programmes in person on Sciences Po?s campus. If the local health situation
prevents Sciences Po from holding any class on campus, all courses from the
social sciences track will be moved online and the website updated
accordingly. Building on the Summer School's expertise in online learning,
and the success of the 2020 and 2021 Online Summer School, we are looking
forward to once again providing an enriching and multicultural learning
experience for all students online and on campus!
