The Institut d'études politiques d'Aix-en-Provence (French pronunciation: [ɛ̃stity detyd pɔlitik ˈdɛks]; English: Aix-en-Provence Institute of Political Studies), simply referred to as Sciences Po Aix (French pronunciation: [sjɑ̃sˈpo ɛks]), is a grande école in Aix-en-Provence, France. This prestigious and highly selective institute is modelled on the former Paris "École Libre des Sciences Politiques" (ELSP). Like the other Instituts d'Etudes Politiques in France (Bordeaux, Grenoble, Lille, Lyon, Paris, Rennes, Strasbourg and Toulouse), Sciences Po Aix is a member of the "Grandes Écoles" group of higher education schools of academic excellence.
It is housed in a hôtel particulier, considered a Monument historique, designed by architect Georges Vallon in 1734. The building is located on the Place de l'université ("town square of the university"), opposite Cathédrale Saint-Sauveur on the rue Gaston de Saporta in Aix-en-Provence. This building previously housed the Faculty of Law of Aix-Marseille University.
