The BA in Political Science at the University of Humanities and Economics in Lodz (AHE) is a three-year, full-time first-cycle programme taught in English. It is for students interested in politics, international relations and public policy who want to analyse political, social and economic events and comment on them with a critical eye.
Most classes are seminars, workshops and projects, so you keep testing your skills in practice rather than only listening to lectures. The programme combines the traditional, theoretical approach to political science with current changes in the world – political systems, international relations and policy-making processes. You carry out research projects, take part in parliamentary debates and meet politicians, public officials and representatives of non-governmental organisations.
In the English-taught programme you choose one of two specialisations. International Trade and Business on the European Market covers international trade policies and agreements, regional integration, cross-border business operations and the economic dynamics of the European market, and develops analytical and negotiation skills.
e-Politics and Public Relations in the Public Sphere looks at digital democracy, social media in political campaigns and the way public relations shapes public opinion and policy-making.
All classes are taught in English, and foreign language teaching is a priority on the course, so that graduates can work comfortably within the structures of EU countries.
Graduates are prepared to work in local and central government, political parties, business and social organisations, as well as in international institutions and organisations. Other options include representations of European institutions, European information points, the media, advocacy groups, non-governmental organisations and companies involved in international trade.
