The Graduate School of International and Political Studies (HEIP) in Paris is one of the schools of the OMNES Education network, located in Paris. Education in it is based on the study of international relations, politics and law.

OMNES Education is a system of institutions offering higher education programs: bachelor's, master's, MBA and short-term courses. Each of the schools has its own specialization, but all of them are aimed at the modernity of education, its applicability in a rapidly changing environment and applied skills that students will be able to use in their careers immediately after graduation.

HEIP has campuses in several French cities as well as London. A bachelor's program and most master's degrees are open on the study grounds in Paris.

A mandatory aspect of higher education programs at HEIP is internships. Bachelors study at partner universities and organizations for 3-6 months in the third year, and masters - for 4-6 months in the first year of study. If desired, each of the students can undergo an internship in any year of study, but the above are mandatory.

There are no places to live on campus, but staff will be able to help with the search and process of renting housing in Paris.

The extracurricular life of HEIP students is participation in one of the many thematic clubs, the organization of various events, the creation of projects with students from other universities. Associations offer students to reveal their talents and implement ideas in a variety of areas: sports, art, charity, science, religion. The campus is regularly visited by invited speakers – specialists not only in politics and international relations, but also in other fields. They conduct conferences and master classes, broadening the horizons of students and passing on their rich life experience to them.

The school values all interests, supporting not only the academic potential of its pupils. Among the major associations are:

• Oratores is a conversation club affiliated with the Francophone Federation of Debates,
• CSactu is a student newspaper dedicated to the events of campus life. Every week there are articles written by students on topics of interest to them,
• APH – Public Relations Association,

• A feminist organization fighting for women's rights and advocating for gender equality,
• BDE Medusa is a community of people who are passionate about mythology.

For members of all associations and those who have not joined any club, general events are regularly held: concerts, theme parties, interdisciplinary conferences and master classes.

Every national and international holiday is celebrated on campus with a concert or festival. The main student association, in cooperation with creative clubs, organizes a bright event in which most students and teachers take part.
