Course outline and specific features
[5]
The core curriculum in year 1 of the program covers areas such as sociology of organizations, labour economics,
employment legislation and business strategy as well as more specific HR subject areas including recruitment,
training and development, HRIS, employee relations and corporate social responsibility). The module "personal
and professional development" helps students to prepare for their work placement which they will carry out in
year 2 of the program. Students also benefit from very practical, hands-on classes such as Interest-based
negotiation programme and are required to carry out a socio-organizational assessment in a large company.
The second year is devoted to deepening students' academic knowledge and enhancing their professional skills.
Students sign a 12 month apprenticeship contract within a company or administration and take on a specific
assignment at management level. The formula of alternating one week of study with three weeks in the
company or administration allows students to combine their knowledge of theoretical concepts with hands-on
experience
Students who wish to gain an additional (professional) experience may request a gap year between year 1 and
year 2 of the program. Students can choose to take additional classes in one of Sciences Po's partner
universities and/or carry out a work placement in France or abroad.
Students enrolled in the program also have the possibility of joining Sciences Po's doctoral school through the
Center for the Sociology of Organizations (Sciences Po – CNRS) if they meet the eligibility criteria.
An individual tutoring system offered by experienced HR executives during year 2 of the program or during the
gap year helps students to reflect on what they envisage doing after graduation.
