Program Overview

Mestrado em CiĻncia PolĒtica

Introduction

The ISCSP is the oldest school in Portugal in the scientific area of Political Science. The master's degree in Political Science was created in 1982, seeking to respond to the emergence of the study of these subjects in the country, in the post-revolution period of April. Over these more than 40 years, the master's degree has sought to accompany the evolution and scientific and pedagogical advances verified in the discipline at the national and international level.

Description

The current curriculum includes a set of curricular units that cover the areas of comparative politics, political theory, and public policies, giving primacy to political actors, processes, and institutions. Particular emphasis is given to epistemological and methodological issues, central axes for the production of scientific knowledge. Thus, students acquire a broad spectrum of knowledge and skills, which allow them to have a global perspective on the scope and importance of the study of Political Science in a world in constant change.

Objectives

• Ensure a solid methodological preparation that is essential for the development of scientific research;
• Develop knowledge and analytical/communicative skills fundamental to the exercise of a vast set of professional activities in the public and private sectors, both at the national and international level;
• Guarantee a solid training in the area of Political Science for those who wish to pursue their studies at the doctoral level.
