How hard is it to get into the Masters course for Public Policy at SciencesPo?

So I'm currently studying Environmental Social Science at Kent and want to go on to do Public Policy at SciencesPo. Will or 2:1 get me in? or due to not having a background in it will I not be able to get in? Any advice would be great, thank you.

The MPP programme at Sciences Po Paris requires you to choose a policy stream you wish to specialise in, and so I think a background in Environmental Social Science will definitely be a good fit with their curriculum (I believe one of their policy streams so happens to be called "Energy, Resources and Sustainability".) Have a look:

As for your degree classification, Sciences Po does say that that they require at least a 2:1, and I have known many people who have been admitted with a 2:1 or the equivalent of it due to compensatory internship/professional experience, good references, and a good personal statement.

Good luck if you're applying !
