Department
Mission
To provide a learning environment in which
students can both discover and think critically about the
political realities of our world. Such learning and thinking
also helps students to develop workable solutions to discovered
problems.
The Department offers two related Degree
Programs, one in political science and the other in public
administration. In addition to their specialist discipline
courses, students in both programs also take a number of general
education courses that help them appreciate the wider cultural,
social, economic, philosophical, and technological contexts in
which politics and public administration takes place.
At the same time, both programs allow
students to take a number of elective courses either to deepen
their knowledge of certain specializations within their own
discipline or to broaden their knowledge of related disciplines
(e.g. international relations, economics, philosophy, business
administration, banking).

Qualifications of Our Graduates
The programs directly help prepare students
to teach, to do research, to become local or state civil
servants, to participate in politics, or more generally to face
the imperatives of the globalization process effectively. The
fact that the programs also require students to improve their
transferable skills for reading, writing, presenting, analyzing,
arguing, organizing, computing, using the internet, and
criticizing in English means that graduates are well placed also
to seek jobs in the private sector, e.g. in business or in other
organizations that may or may not be seeking to influence
states.
