General description

Political science deals with political decisionmaking processes and social dynamics, and the underlying structures of power and domination. The major in Political Studies prepares students to systematically examine current questions and problems. It is highly research-oriented and includes intensive methodological training. In their Master’s thesis candidates demonstrate the ability to independently work on complex social science issues while soundly applying their methodological skills, to present and communicate appropriately, and actively participate in the academic community. The degree prepares students for a further career in science as well as for work in the broader environment of public administrations, federal authorities, consulting, the media, the private sector, and international organizations. Candidates can specialize in a concentration of their choice.
