Political science – Studies of Politics and the State

The Political Science - Studies of Politics and the State study programme provides insight into political doctrines and theories, into the terms and concepts of political science, into the history of political thought, and into the workings of modern political processes and institutions. The programme is theoretically and practically oriented, enabling students to understand contemporary events in the world and their role in them. They are also trained in the use of research and analytical methods. This is a very open programme, with up to 33% electives. By choosing subjects, students can focus on different areas that interest them personally, and that offer the possibility of employment, such as in foreign affairs, public administration, human resource management, political parties, business management, lobbying, public relations, policy management, non-governmental organisations, local self-government, research organisations, European institutions, and multinational corporations.
