Education

Giving you the ability to analyze political matters in a changing world

We have a wide range of courses in political science, peace and conflict studies and intelligence analysis! At the Department of Political Science we want to highlight society's increased complexity in our various courses. Still the classic questions continue to be the most important starting points for the Political Science-analysis of politics. Questions of power, democracy, conflict and cooperation.
Whatever your goal or reasons for studying you are welcome to study our courses and programmes at the bachelor and master levels.

Important information

Dear student at the Department of Political Science,

The Department of Political Science has, until further notice, switched to distance education on all courses for which the department is responsible, taking into account each course's circumstances. More information about the transition is provided by the teachers at each course.

Please respect the advice and recommendations listed on Lund University's website, and please keep yourselves updated on the developments (www.lunduniversity.lu.se/corona).

Thank you for your understanding!

Best regards,

Björn Badersten
