Internationalisation

Students are able to take advantage of various international elements of the course:

  each year, UCL students can attend lectures given by the Chair of Political, Administrative and International Reform. Given by internationally renowned researchers, these lectures are either in French or English. 

  area studies courses

  study visits abroad lasting one semester are available under the Erasmus scheme and, to a lesser extent, the Mercatorscheme.For the research focus, discussions are ongoing to establish special agreements with a limited number of partners (established research centres) to organize targeted student exchanges for research, worth 10 of the 30 mobility credits.  

  becoming part of the international networks (Europe, North America, Japan and North East Asia) of the Centre for Comparative Politics (Centre de Politique Comparée - CPC), the research group COMPASSS, and the  University Research Association for Public Policy (Association Universitaire de Recherche sur l’Action Publique – AURAP).

 

Special partners :

  •  KULeuven : (**ongoing discussions) Discussions with a view to  reaching an agreement which would enable:  1/ special access to specific courses up to 15 credits ; 2/ special access to courses which together form a natural group (for example groups of area studies or different seminars on methodology)
  • Political Science Lille (**ongoing discussions) Discussions with a view to  reaching an agreement which would, ideally, enable the award of a double degree (by spending one year in Lille and one at UCL), or failing that, the award of a joint degree
  • Marie Haps (see above)
  • the Socrates European network for comparative politics (intensive module)
