Sciences Po Aix, also referred to as Institut d'Études Politiques d'Aix-en-Provence, is a Grande École of political studies located in Aix-en-Provence, in the Provence region of southern France. It is placed under the administration of Aix-Marseille University and is part of a network of ten Institut d'études politiques, also known as IEPs.
Sciences Po Aix, like other IEPs, is nationally renowned for its excellence in public administration, political science, and law. However, it distinguishes itself with a strong focus on defense, international relations, geopolitics, and international security—fields in which it has developed specialized programs that are recognized as being among the best in Europe.[6][7]
