Paris–Berlin, ça fait du bien! Freie Universität has been cooperating with the Institut d’études politiques de Paris (Sciences Po) since 1950 and with École des hautes études commerciales Paris (HEC Paris) since 2010. Currently, political science students can choose between a bachelor’s degree program and two different master’s degree programs, if they wish to earn degrees from both universities, an option that has been available since 1991.
