Two of the world's leading institutions for the humanities and social sciences – the University of Sydney and Sciences Po in France – have come together to offer students a dual degree program, one of a kind in Australia. After completing the first two years of study in France, you will relocate to the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at the University of Sydney to continue your third and fourth year of studies in the Bachelor of Arts. Courses are taught in English, although you may select French as your language proficiency increases. About the Bachelor of Arts Offering broad choice across more than 45 subject areas in the humanities and social sciences, the two arts degrees are quite the same.
