Program Mission

We live in a world that is frequently dominated by conflicts both within and between states:  individuals, interest groups, political parties, and armies are struggling with each other.  The Political Science Degree Program provides a learning environment in which students are helped both to understand and to think critically about these conflicts.  It studies the structures, ideologies, cultures, and histories that have given rise to these conflicts but it also seeks solutions.  Thus, different political systems focused on different states or collections of state are comparatively examined and assessed, e.g. Turkey, Cyprus, European Union, USA.

 

Program Facilities

  • Scholarship and on-campus job opportunities for outstanding students

  • 6 Computer Labs free of charge and connected to the internet

  • 7 Multimedia Rooms which are equipped with videos, projectors, computers and internet connections

  • Opportunity to participate in many different student clubs

  • Regularly updated Course Outlines and Textbooks

  • The University provides many other important facilities such as a fully equipped health care center, modern student’s dormitories, a sport center, a swimming pool, tennis courts, restaurants and a bookstore. Banking and the postal services is also available on campus.

Why to Study Political Science in EMU?

  • All courses are taught and examined in English.
  • In addition to the above facilities, the numbers of students in classes are small enough to give each student opportunities for one-to-one academic dialogues and supervision.

  • The international and cosmopolitan academic staff are skilled and determined to help students rise to the educational challenges offered.

Qualifications of Our Graduates

The most able graduates will be qualified to study for post-graduate degrees.  In any case, the programs could help a graduate to teach political science subjects, to do research, to become local or state civil servants, to participate in politics, or more generally to face the imperatives of the globalizing process effectively.  

Job Opportunities

In addition to the above, the fact that the program also requires students to improve their transferable skills for reading, writing, presenting, analyzing, arguing, organizing, computing, using the internet, and criticizing means that graduates are well placed also to seek jobs in the private sector, e.g. in business or in other organizations that may or may not be seeking to influence states.  

The following are some of the many other possible private sector positions graduates might eventually seek:

  • human resource manager

  • journalist

  • political-security analyst

  • manager of a national or international bank
