Exceptional results from our students in the 2024 administrative entrance examinations
A LEADING PREPARATORY CLASS
The Prépa Concours, preparation for the French administrative entrance exams at Sciences Po's School of Public Affairs, which enables students in the second year of a Masters degree, students who have already graduated or external students to take a one-year course to prepare for entrance exams to the upper echelons of the French civil service (INSP, Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs, Banque de France, Affaires maritimes, INET, EHESP, etc.).
The programme combines teaching, training and personalised support, and has become a benchmark in France for those wishing to enter the upper echelons of the civil service.
EXCELLENT RESULTS
This is demonstrated once again by the exceptional results of our students in the latest 2024 competitive entrance exams:
- INSP (ex-ENA), State Administrator: 70% of those admitted came from Sciences Po. Among our successful candidates, 57% were women and 28% had grants.
- INET, Territorial Administrator: 71% of successful candidates are Sciences Po graduates.
- EHESP, Hospital Director: 30% of those admitted came from Sciences Po.
- Banque de France, Executive: 65% of those admitted came from Sciences Po.
- Assemblée Nationale, Administrator: 68% of those admitted came from Sciences Po.
- École Nationale Supérieure de la Sécurité Sociale, Executive: 20% of those admitted were from Sciences Po.
- City of Paris, Attaché: 34% of those admitted came from Sciences Po.
PUBLIC SERVICE, A CAREER OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL OUR STUDENTS
In total, Sciences Po has had nearly 125 successful candidates from its ranks in 10 administrative competitions. This success testifies to the quality and expertise of our preparation for administrative competitions. Against a backdrop of reform and change within the civil service, these results also bear witness to the attractiveness of the public service to Sciences Po students.
Lastly, these results reflect the diversity of Sciences Po's student population, both in terms of gender balance and social inclusion, a commitment that will be strengthened by the creation of our Prépa Talents in 2021. We are also gratified by the diversity of the academic backgrounds of our graduates: some entered Sciences Po at the Bachelor, others joined us in the Masters programme or directly in the competitive entrance exam preparatory class following training at another institution.
Sciences Po also offers other preparatory courses for competitive entrance exams, notably for the École Nationale de la Magistrature.
