Application Deadline: February 2, 2010
Applications are welcome from students world-wide. Applicants must have completed an undergraduate degree
from an accredited college or university, or its international equivalent, preferably in a relevant subject
area (Political Science, History, International Relations, European Studies, American Studies, Economics,
or modern languages). All students are expected to be proficient in English and at least one other language.
Students whose native language is not English must demonstrate English proficiency with the TOEFL exam.
Students who wish to undertake coursework in a language other than English must demonstrate ability in one of
the other consortium languages first through a language evaluation to be completed by a university or college
faculty member and submitted with the application. Language skills will be screened again at the beginning of
the fall semester at UNC in an interview. If the student's language skills are found insufficient for university
level coursework, the student will be asked to revise study plans.
Please note that S-P requires TAM I applicants who wish to study there to take its own on-line French-language test. It can be done on line and sent back to Sciences Po. The applicant must take the test alone and must not exceed 90 minutes.
Please choose the Test “master Paris” at the following site:

ALL applicants are required to take the GRE General Exam. All exam scores must be reported to UNC-CH before the application deadline.
