Master in Political Sciences: General [60.0] - SPOL2M1

AnnéesTravail de fin d'étude

Retour en début de pageStudy objectives

This Master is designed to build on the initial foundations of a political science training by consolidating knowledge of the three main fields of the subject : political science/comparative politics, international relations and public policy. With this in mind, the programme :
- offers a series of courses as well as a seminar which build on what has already been covered at undergraduate level in the main areas of political science ;
- allows students to choose both courses with different perspectives (e.g. political science/comparative politics, international relations and public administration) and a first introduction to ‘area studies’ ;
- allows students to produce a final piece of work supported by innovative teaching methods .

Students must follow all the core subjects totalling 45 credits (15 of which are for the dissertation) and make up the rest of their programme with optional courses focused on regional subjects (e.g. Belgium, Europe or Asia) and language classes to reach the required  60 credits.

The core subjects concentrate on the different fields in political science (comparative politics, international relations, European studies, public policy and administration).
