In this way, you will not only improve yourself in your field, but also enrich your cultural and professional background by taking courses from different disciplines. Our department, recognizing that politics is an international discipline rather than a local one, operates with a 100% English language instruction policy to stay abreast of developments in the discipline, particularly in the Western world. It's clear that learning English will also significantly benefit students in their professional lives after graduation. Therefore, by learning our departmental courses in English during your undergraduate studies, you will not only gain a broad understanding of Political Science and Public Administration but also acquire a significant amount of English upon graduation. This will undoubtedly be a significant advantage in your post-graduation career. After graduation, our students have the opportunity to pursue postgraduate studies and careers in political science, public administration, and other areas of the social sciences, either domestically or abroad, depending on their interests and achievements. They can also serve in public institutions as district governors, experts, administrative judges, and inspectors, or as specialists or inspectors in various management positions in the private sector. We look forward to welcoming you to our department in the new academic year.
