Students gain knowledge of political systems and comparative politics, political theory, international relations, constitutional law, economics, methods of empirical social research, and statistics. Furthermore, students learn how to analyze complex issues with scientific methods while also acquiring practical experience during an internship (300 hours).
The program consists of political science as a core area, a supplementary area (history, humanities, communications science, philosophy, or sociology), courses to obtain general skills and qualifications (foreign languages, presentation techniques, media competency, etc.), and a bachelor’s thesis in political science.
