In the course of five years of Bachelor’s and Master’s studies, you will spend the first, third and fourth year of studies in Eichstätt at the KU. This means that you do not have to pack your bags every year. You will study in France in the second year of the Bachelor’s and Master’s program.

In the first year, specific modules will prepare you for your stay abroad in Rennes. From the second year onwards, you will meet your French fellow students in Rennes and study in a joint class group. During the course of your studies you will develop your own individual study profile. In the third year of your Bachelor's degree and the first year of your Master's degree in Eichstätt, you choose one of eleven profiles in addition to the Political Science modules. In the second year of the Master's program, you can then specialize in France and prepare for your career start.

The Franco-German University and the European program Erasmus+ will support you financially during your stay abroad with a total of approximately 600 euros per month. You can therefore concentrate fully on your studies without having any financial worries.

Political science is the central theme of the program. Our goal: Train your ability to judge. In each academic year at the KU, you will earn at least one third of your ECTS credits in the field of Political Science and deal with political systems, political theories and international relations. In the French understanding of sciences politiques, political sciences (in the plural) also include various related disciplines such as economics, history or law.

While interdisciplinarity is already included in the term sciences politiques in France, it becomes possible at the KU by choosing one of the eleven study profiles: How do modern societies function (sociology)? How are politics and economics related (business administration or economics)? What are the cultural similarities and differences in Europe (culture and Europe)? Who are the great authors in literature, which epochs and genres of art exist (literature and art)? What remains of the great thinkers (philosophy and ethics)? Do you see your future in journalism (communication and media) or are you interested in the relationship between humans and the environment (human geography and/or sustainable development)? Do you like to look back in history in order to understand today better (recent history and contemporary history)? Are you particularly interested in Latin America (Latin American Studies)? Last but not least you can improve your foreign language skills during your studies and choose free modules.

In the course of your studies, you have acquired solid political science knowledge, sharpened your profile and demonstrated your academic skills in your Bachelor's and Master's thesis. In France, you will choose a so-called "Master 2 Program". It is usually a one-year program that is either research- or career-oriented. Popular programs include "Europe et affaires mondiales (EAM)" or "Multi-Level Governance and international relations" (MUGIR) or "Management des organisations et des projets" (MOP) in Sciences Po Rennes. In research-oriented programs, students pursue a scientific project and write a longer scientific paper. In the career-oriented programs, students complete a long internship.
