Presentation
Resolutely multidisciplinary, the dual degree in Economics and Political Science aims to meet the demands of promising new professions, particularly in the fields of the environment, energy, decision support, development projects, transnational governance, and the regulation of complex societies.
Students take core courses in both economics (taught at the Richter campus) and political science (taught at the Faculty of Law and Political Science campus), with the University of Montpellier currently being the only institution to offer this type of program.
Objectives
The aim is to train executives who, with skills in economics, political science, and more generally in the social sciences and national and international institutions, will be able to take on positions of responsibility in the public and private sectors, in France or internationally.
