Political Science

What do you study in Political Science?

Political Science helps you understand how power works: who holds it, how it is exercised and why societies organise themselves in one way rather than another. If you wonder why wars happen, how governments make decisions or what role international organisations play, this degree is for you.

  • Political theory and the philosophy of power
  • Systems of government, political parties and electoral processes
  • International relations and geopolitics
  • Public policy and state administration
  • Conflict analysis and global cooperation
  • Constitutional law and European institutions

You can build a career in international organisations, public administration, the media, NGOs, political consultancy or diplomacy.
