Director(s) message
Politics is a human activity that integrates all other spheres of life. It is impossible to understand today's world without understanding political phenomena. A graduate in this subject will have acquired: extensive knowledge of political phenomena, including why some people vote while others abstain; explanations for political regime changes or how to evaluate a public policy; well-developed oral and written exposition skills and argumentative reasoning; and a fairly advanced knowledge of data analysis.
Graduating from Iscte offers a competitive qualification, as Iscte is a very prestigious university both in Portugal and abroad.
