Politics and Society (in English)
Short presentation of the programme:
What is an individual? What is society? What is civilization? What is justice? Why do we have states and political parties? How can we thrive in the 21st century? Politics and Society addresses the above and other related issues in a modern setting with up-to-date methods of interactive teaching with a pronounced practical bent. The first two years of study encompass practical and general lecture courses in the fields of Politics, Society, Governance and International Relations interlinked with disciplines such as Sociology, Social Anthropology and Economics. During the third and fourth years, the educational process comprises more narrowly-profiled courses and practice-oriented educational forms. The programme is taught in English. Our key lecturers include both renowned scholars in the academic world who have lectured in Europe and the USA, and practitioners from the world of politics, such as former and present Prime Ministers, Ministers, party leaders, ambassadors, political advisors and military leaders.
