According to article 2 of an 18 December 1989 decree, the mission of Institutes of Political Studies is to contribute to the training of higher civil servants as well as executives in the public, para-public and private sectors, notably in the State and decentralized communities, and to develop the research in political and administrative sciences.
Alumni include many notable public figures, including one French Prime Minister, politicians and influential businessmen.
The institute has approximately 2,200 students, admitted after a rigorous selection. Each year, Sciences Po Bordeaux receives about 6000 applications and only around 250 students will be accepted after the selection process, around 5% in average. This process makes it one of the most difficult French Political Institute to be accepted in.[4]
The academic course lasts five years, at the end of which a student graduates with the Diploma of Sciences Po Bordeaux (which is equivalent to a bachelor's degree) and with one of eighteen Masters offered by the institute.
Sciences Po Bordeaux is a well integrated university, with more than 200 exchange-agreements with foreign universities around the world. It also proposes double degree programs with the universities of Stuttgart (Germany), Turin (Italy), Coimbra (Portugal), Madrid (Spain), Hong Kong (China), Moscow (Russia), Kingston (Jamaica) and Quebec (Canada).[5]
