The Paris School of International Affairs (PSIA) is a graduate school of Sciences Po (also referred to as the Institut d'études politiques de Paris) based in Paris, France, and is one of the most prestigious graduate schools for international relations.[1][2] Located in the Saint-Germain-des-Prés neighborhood in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, the school has an international student population of 70%, with 1200 students coming from over 110 countries.[3][4]

Taught primarily in English and optionally in French, PSIA offers seven two-year Master's degrees in international affairs, along with several double degrees with international partner universities, including Columbia University, Georgetown University and the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE).[5][6]

As Sciences Po's graduate school for international affairs, PSIA was in 2024 jointly ranked second best programme globally for politics, along with the University of Oxford.[7][8]

PSIA's current dean is Arancha Gonzalez, former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Spain, succeeding Enrico Letta, former Prime Minister of Italy, who held the position from 2015 to 2021.
