BA in Political Science

Political Science is a discipline that scrutinizes politics in national and international arenas. One of its core tasks is a consideration of the various ways that political systems react to social problems, such as unemployment and disenchantment with politics, and analysis of how concrete policies are formulated and implemented to counter these issues. In addition to the aspect of political decision-making, we also look at political institutions (e.g. parliaments, voting systems, the European Union) and those involved in the political process (e.g. political parties and citizens).
