Sciences Po Bordeaux, or Institut d'études politiques (IEP) de Bordeaux, is a French political science grande école situated on the university campus of Pessac, 8 km from the centre of Bordeaux and is attached to the Montesquieu University - Bordeaux IV. It was established in 1948. Sciences Po Bordeaux is one of the nine Institutes of Political Studies of France, and a so-called "Grande Ecole".
The Institute has approximately 1,300 students, admitted after a rigorous selection. Academic studies last five years, at the end of which a student graduates with the Diploma of Sciences Po Bordeaux (which is equivalent to a master's degree) and with one of three Masters offered by the Institute. Sciences Po Bordeaux has more than 200 exchange-agreements with universities throughout the world, including double degree-diploma programs with the universities of Stuttgart (Germany), Turin (Italy), Coimbra (Portugal), Madrid (Spain), Cardiff (UK), Moscow (Russia), Kingston (Jamaica) and Quebec (Canada).

It obtained a statute of établissement public and took its present name with the decree of 18 January 1969 with the other Sciences-Po of Aix, Grenoble, Lyon, Strasbourg and Toulouse.
The historian and sociologist Jacques Ellul, and the future Minister, Secretary of the European Council and Vice-President of the European Parliament,Catherine Lalumière, were teachers in the institution.
