Course Overview

Sciences Po — France's premier university for the social sciences and public affairs (QS top 5 globally for Politics) — offers a Master in International Education through its School of Public Affairs. The 2-year English-taught Master's trains education-policy professionals: covering education systems and reform, learning sciences, EdTech and innovation, education economics and financing, and the work of international organisations, with a policy capstone and internship. Students engage with UNESCO, the OECD, and global education NGOs, all headquartered in or near Paris.

Sri Lankan applicants — graduates in education, social sciences, languages, and the humanities, plus practising teachers and education professionals — choose Sciences Po for: an elite English-medium education-policy credential, France's affordable public-sector tuition, and the country's 1-year job-search residence permit (APS). As Sri Lanka reforms its education system and expands EdTech, this expertise is directly relevant. The Master suits those targeting education policy, international organisations, EdTech, NGOs, and ministry roles.
