What is it?

The Professional Certificate in Social and Human Sciences for Young Refugees from Sciences Po is a University Diploma (DU) Passerelle which allows refugees to improve their level of practice of the French language, to be introduced to the social and human sciences, and to promote their integration into French society (continuation of studies and/or search for employment).

This Certificate is validated by a Bac +2.

This two-year course offers three semesters of study at Sciences Po and a final six-month internship semester.

The Certificate also offers activities to discover the business world and various cultural sites, as well as participation in sports and artistic activities.

Finally, individualized social and professional support is offered to all students during the two years of study.

The training is open to people under 28 years old.
The training lasts 2 years and always begins in September .

There are about 40 similar courses in France. This sheet presents the Sciences Po course.

Why is it interesting?

In the Professional Certificate in Social and Human Sciences at Sciences Po, 8 hours of French lessons are offered each week.

In addition, courses in English and other languages are offered, as well as courses in social sciences, history, geopolitics, mathematics applied to social sciences, introduction to management and the business world, office automation and career guidance workshops.

If you are a beneficiary of international protection or a beneficiary of temporary protection, you have the possibility of requesting financial assistance (grants based on social criteria or specific annual aid) every month and accommodation to complete the training.

During the training, you will discover the university system in France: how courses and exams are organized, learn to take notes during classes and review them outside of lectures, make presentations, prepare for exams, what diplomas and training exist, how to prepare for the rest of your educational or professional career, etc.

During the training, professionals individually accompany each student to think about the academic and professional project, according to the possibilities:

  • Professional workshops
  • Mentoring by professionals
  • Creation of a mentoring pair (a Sciences Po employee with a student)

The professionals also help you write your CVs and cover letters, and register for the training courses that interest you.

To prepare for entry into the professional world, a six-month internship in a company is organized in the 4th semester.

It will also be possible to join the Sciences Po Alumni network which allows you to be in contact with the school's former students.

You will have access to different outings and activities during the training:

  • Cultural visits (Comédie Française, Théâtre des Champs-Elysées, etc.)
  • Company visits (L’Oréal, RATP, etc.)
  • Sport and art activities thanks to the rich associative life of Sciences Po
