Accreditations
The Master in Political Science has a duration of two years, corresponding to a total of 120 credits (ECTS). Classes take place after working hours (from 6pm onwards). The Master is structured in three thematic areas:
- Governance and Policy for Development, which implies the choice of the following optional subjects: Economy and European Policies, State and Development, and Debates in Public Policy.
- Public Opinion and Political Communication, which implies the choice of: Political Campaign Analysis, Public Opinion and Polls, and Media Literacy.
- Political Institutions and Political Behavior, which implies the choice of: Comparative Political Institutions, Public Opinion and Polls, and Societies and Political Systems in Europe.
The curricular structure is organized around political science training and specialization in one of these three thematic areas. Therefore, it comprises the core themes of this scientific area (such as: democracy, governance, political behavior, political parties, political representation, or public policies), as well as structuring subjects for each of the three thematic areas. Throughout their training, students also have the possibility to attend two optional subjects (to choose from the existing offer at Iscte), and an optional subject related to a Specialized Research Technique, in order to support the preparation of their dissertation. Students whose previous training has not given them the skills to carry out research in Social Sciences are advised to attend specific subjects on research methodologies and techniques (such as Research Methods in Social Sciences).
Students can also choose optional CUs, from a wide range of CUs offered by Iscte, taught in Portuguese or English, and it is up to the student to choose the one that interests him or her most.

Attitudes and Political Behaviour
At the end of the curricular unit, each student should be able to:
LO1. Define and critically analyze the main concepts related to political attitudes and behaviors;
LO2. Identify and critically analyze the most relevant explanatory factors of political attitudes and behaviors;
LO3. Be familiar with both the classical and most recent developments in scientific production regarding political attitudes and behaviors;
LO4. Understand and critically analyze very current empirical research related to political attitudes and behaviors;
LO5. Clearly and appealingly present complex scientific articles orally and critically analyze them in written format.
Part 1: Political Behaviors
PC1. Electoral participation vs abstention
PC2. Electoral behavior
PC3. Different forms of political participation
Part 2: Political Attitudes
PC4. Political preferences
PC5. Political sophistication and interest
PC6. Political trust and satisfaction
Students can choose to complete the curricular unit through assessment throughout the semester or by exam.
The assessment throughout the semester has the following components:
a) Oral presentation and discussion of a scientific text in groups and participation in classes (worth 40% of the final grade)
b) Individual written essay (worth 60% of the final grade)
All assessment components are mandatory.
More details on the components of the assessment throughout the semester:
a) The group oral presentation of the text consists of the oral presentation and discussion of a very current scientific article by students, followed by a debate with the class. This component is evaluated individually. The evaluation of "class participation" is done as follows: 0.5, 1, or 1.5 points are added to the oral presentation grade for the most participative students. Being participative means making interesting interventions in class, asking questions that show you are following the material, participating in debates and exercises, and demonstrating an attentive attitude in class.
b) The written essay is done individually on a topic of the student's choice, as long as it is related to the programmatic contents of the curricular unit. The objective is to conduct a literature review on the chosen topic (in an articulated and critical manner). Ideally, the essay should be guided by a starting question. 8-10 pages (font size 12, 1.5 line spacing; in English or Portuguese)

OA2. Distinguish between extensive and intensive methodological strategies, demonstrating their characteristics, potentials, and limitations;
OA3. Develop and validate instruments for data collection in the context of extensive research, including defining the sampling process and constructing questionnaires;
OA4. Develop and validate instruments for use in intensive research, including designing interview guides and defining fieldwork;
OA5. Understand the structure of a database, classify variables, and interpret tables and graphs;
OA6. Analyze and interpret qualitative data, using content analysis of interviews and other documents.

Students can choose one of the two assessment methods established for this UC in accordance with the General Regulation on Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (RGACC) of ISCTE: Assessment throughout the semester and Assessment by exam.
Assessment throughout the semester: This assessment method consists of two components: Methodological Applications Pathway (60%) and Group Assignment (40%).
a) Methodological Applications Pathway: This component consists of a sequence of methodological exercises that challenge students to apply the knowledge acquired in each block of programmatic contents of the UC. The exercises are completed individually throughout the semester, either synchronously or asynchronously, allowing for continuous assessment of students and their progress in the field of social research methods. To remain assessed throughout the semester, students may opt to skip the submission of only one of the proposed methodological exercises. The grade obtained in this component accounts for 60% of the final grade for the UC.
b) Group Assignment: This component involves analyzing two empirical studies, one intensive and one extensive, based on the examination of two master’s theses related to the students' areas of interest. Preference should be given to analyzing master’s theses developed within the scientific field of the student's enrolled master's program. The work can be done in groups (two members) or individually. The document must be written according to the structure proposed by the teaching team. To remain assessed throughout the semester, students must achieve a minimum grade of 10 points on the Group Assignment. The grade obtained in this component accounts for 40% of the final grade for the UC.
In addition to the minimum requirements for each component, assessment throughout the semester requires students to attend at least 60% of the classes.
Assessment by exam: This assessment occurs exclusively during the exam period and covers all the material taught in the curricular unit, with both theoretical and theoretical-practical questions. It consists of an individual written exam designed to evaluate both the practical skills for applying social research methods and the theoretical knowledge gained from reading the main bibliography. Students who have chosen this assessment method, as well as those who did not pass the assessment throughout the semester, are eligible for this assessment method.

3-identify characteristics which must be met by research goals
4-identify what are hypotheses and how they should be formulated
5-define a methodological strategy taking into account the objectives and hypotheses
6-present and write the research results
The program develops the following steps:
1st lesson: Presentation of CU, objectives, planification and methodology of work;
2nd lesson: Recommendations concerning the establishment of objectives, hypotheses and empirical research methodology;
3rd lecture: Recommendations regarding the processing of data and the elaboration of the master thesis in Political Science;
4th to 6th lesson: Presentation by students of the research projects, followed of a discussion in class;
7th class: Recommentations regarding the writting of the master thesis;

10th to12th lessons: Presentation by the students of the research projects, followed by a discussion in class.
A jury, expressly appointed to do so, will evaluate the master thesis submitted by the student. The classification assigned by the jury will be the final grade of this CU.
The delivery of a theoretical chapter draft at the end of the first semester (December/January), as well as the delivery of a data analysis proposal in the second semester (May/July), and the corresponding quality of the work delivered, will be considered when defending the dissertation, affecting the final grade.
