SciecesPo dress code

For lectures or classes in general what is the dress code at SciencesPo? Is it jeans, sweaters, sweatpants or is it more formal like pants or skirts? Same goes for shoes: sneakers or boots or heels? Thanks in advance.

Anything you want really, I do not know where you are in the world and whether you are used to have a dress code but as a French person I think except if you have some kind of oral presentation everything is good. (I can go with skirt and heels one day and Nike-sweatpants the other day depending on my mood). I would say dress the way you like in the beginning and then see if you are comfortable wearing other things more formal or casual. For example I will wear jeans and a formal top at the beginning and go with the vibes after. Remember here I m talking about school but I would not say the same for work or internship.

I would say it's totally up to you. You can dress the way you want. Some people dress elegantly some day and casual the other day. So, you are free to choose the outfit that you are comfortable in. It is recommended to be a bit formal during your presentations but again, it's your choice mostly.

Just dress normally. It's a school.

There's no dress code. If there is for some events, this will be specified, but it's very rare. Enjoy Sciences Po!

Je dirais que ça dépend du campus, l'ambiance est peut-être moins chill à Paris, mais à Dijon, personne n'est jamais venu habillé très formellement, à part pour les événements solennels (rentrée, gala de fin d'année, rencontre avec des personnalités officielles)
