History

The school was established by decree on 4 May 1948 under the name "Institut d'études politiques de l’université de Bordeaux"; Maurice Duverger was its first director. 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. Until 1967 Sciences-Po Bordeaux was situated in the city center of Bordeaux at 4 Maréchal Joffre street, replaced by the current lower Court of Justice of Bordeaux.

By a decree in 1989, Sciences-Po Bordeaux has been attached to the University of Bordeaux IV.

Since September 2007, Vincent Hoffman Martinot is the current director of the school.
