Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - BA (Hons.) - Political Science

Overview

The BA in Political Science is a bold, future-facing programme where students don’t just study politics—they live it. Designed to cultivate fearless thinkers and changemakers, the programme blends conceptual depth with real-world action: dynamic simulations, field labs, student-led podcasts, and strategy games bring politics off the page and into lived experience. With a strong focus on power, conflict, sovereignty, and global transformation - especially in a post-Western, multipolar world—students sharpen the skills that matter: critical thinking, persuasive writing, confident speaking, and political imagination. Anchored by the Centre of Excellence in Eurasian Studies and driven by the student-led platform PoliticX, this programme is a launchpad for careers in civil services, international affairs, political consultancy, media, and impact-driven innovation. Energetic, rigorous, and unapologetically relevant—this is Political Science reimagined.
