Political Science

In both public and private organizations, political scientists can give recommendations for action based on analyses they previously conducted. For example, they develop new business models and services or create communication strategies.

In the area of public affairs, political scientists engage in foreign relations and work for agencies, political parties, or administrations. They strategically communicate with different groups (e.g., citizens, political decision-makers, associations, or NGOs) in order to advance the interests of their principal.

Graduates can assume a political office, consult on a scientific basis, or prepare decisions in governmental institutions such as the European Parliament or the German Bundestag.

Political scientists can also become press officers of a political party, where they respond to citizens’ inquiries, issue press statements, newsletter articles and social media posts, or are responsible for the conceptual preparation and organization of new dialog formats.

If you complete a master’s degree, you can pursue an academic career. The master’s program in Political Science is the perfect choice if you plan to continue your academic training with a doctoral program in order to pursue a career in science and research.
