Program Overview
The Double Degree program between L’Orientale University (UNIOR) and Inalco in Paris offers a high-level two-year path to obtain two Master’s degrees: the Degree in Relations and Institutions of Asia and Africa (UNIOR) and the Master in Relations Internationales (Inalco). The project integrates the in-depth study of the languages, cultures, and history of Asia and Africa with solid theoretical training in international relations.
International mobility takes place during the second year at Inalco, where students can specialize in “Strategic Cultures” or "”International Solidarity”. Participants obtain degrees fully recognized in both countries, opening doors to international careers and doctoral research programs throughout Europe.
