Faculty of ArtStudents in the UBC–Sciences Po Dual Degree program are bright, enthusiastic individuals who have a keen interest in global affairs and perspectives, and seek to solve the challenges we face by applying knowledge from across the social sciences and humanities.
Eligibility
The UBC Sciences Po Dual Degree program is open to domestic and international applicants applying from secondary school. The program is not open to students with a previous degree or students who have already completed some post-secondary studies; the sole exception is for students at a Cégep in Québec. French fluency is not required for the Dual Degree unless you are choosing to study in the Europe-Africa program in Reims.
If you are unsuccessful in your application to the Dual Degree program, you will be automatically considered for admission to UBC’s regular BA program. For consideration to the Sciences Po BA program (and not UBC), please apply to Sciences Po directly.
