The Degree in Political Science is three years long and confers 180 ECTS credits. Each course is worth 6 ECTS. The first two years of the Degree – which contains a total of 19 Curricular Units – are equal for all students*.
The first year of the degree aims to provide students with the basis for an in-depth study of Political Science, both from the theoretical and the methodological and data analysis point of view, whereas in the 2nd year the plan study aims to deepen those basis. Interdisciplinarity is introduced in the 2nd semester of the 1st year.
The 3rd year is one of specialization, hence students have to choose between the Political Science and the Public Policies branches. Each of the branches has its own five specific Curricular Units, but there are also three common core courses - see Study Plan below. In this year, each student also freely chooses two optional Curricular Units, one of which may be Internship in Political Science. The latter course bridges the gap between university and real life.
* In addition to these common core Curricular Units, in the first semester of the first year, the students also take three courses of Transferable Skills worth 2 ECTS each.
Offer in English language
Some Curricular Units are taught both in Portuguese and in English, being up to the student to make the option he/she prefers. To take a course in English gives an added value to the student's CV, besides allowing a deeper knowledge of the language.

LO2. Identify the stages of an empirical research process
LO3. Design a research project using a questionnaire survey
LO4. Construct sampling plans
LO5. Create instruments for collecting information (questionnaire survey)
LO6. Analyse, interpret and present statistical data resulting from a questionnaire survey.
PC1. Research, methods and operationalization of conceptual units

2. Framework for analysis and operationalisation of concepts
PC2. Delimiting the empirical field: population and sample definition
1. Statistical representativity
2. Main sampling techniques
PC3. Survey questionnaire
1. Construction of the questionnaire
2. Application of the survey
3. Online surveys
4. Planning data processing
PC4. Analysing survey data
1. Analysing the results
2. Presenting the results
Students can choose one of the two assessment methods provided for in the CU: 1) assessment throughout the semester; 2) assessment by exam.
- Assessment throughout the semester consists of: written group work (in two reports, a progress report and a final report) and an individual written test. The final grade is the result of a weighted average of the three assessment moments: group progress report (20%); final group report (40%); and individual written test (40%), provided it is equal to or higher than 7 points. Students who do not obtain a minimum mark of 7 in the test will fail the CU and will be admitted to assessment by exam. Assessment throughout the semester requires students to attend at least 50% of the classes. If the teachers deem it necessary, there is the possibility of an oral test, in complement to the written assessment components, as an additional element in the assessment (e.g. in situations where there is a need for additional clarification in the classifications).
- Assessment by exam takes place exclusively during the assessment period and covers all the material taught in the curricular unit. It consists of an individual written test. Students who have opted for this form of assessment and students who have not been approved in the assessment throughout the semester are admitted to this form of assessment.

Political Theory: Contemporary Authors
The contact (trough advanced and up-to-date textbooks) with the main political theories is supposed to provide the capaciy a) to explain the political realm, to explore what is at stake in political practice, and to elucidate the values which motivate political action, b)for discovering the great political problems and the general political solutions, c) for organizing and defending arguments.
ProgramI- What is the political theory?
II- The coming of the mass society and the reconceptualizations of democracy (Ostrogorsky, elite theory,Weber, Schumpeter)
III- The Western marxism (Lukács, Gramsci,Frankfurt School)
IV- Conservatism (from the social paternalism to the New Right)
V- Analytical political theory (Rawls, Nozick and their critics)
VI- New theories (Feminism, Greens, Fundamentalism).
a)a spoken presentation of one or more topics by a small group (however with individual mark), b)a written examination in order to estimate the level of knowledge and understanding of the whole subject. A special exam will be provided to the students which are not suceeded in the continuous assessment (or want to improve the mark obtained in this assessment).

The project consists of preparing a data analysis report, applying the syllabus contents, based on a database provided by the teaching team.
Throughout the semester, there will be classes dedicated to developing the final report, in which all group members must be present.
b) 5 Mini-quizzes, of which the four best results count towards assessment (totaling 30% weight).
The mini-quizzes are conducted throughout the semester at the beginning of classes to review and assess the topics covered in the previous class(es). They are individual and last 10 minutes each.
In terms of format, they may include multiple-choice questions, true or false questions, direct questions, or filling in missing information in tables or text.
c) Two exercises applying SPSS (one related to PCA and another to two-factor ANOVA) and writing a results synthesis text (15% each), each with a minimum grade of 7 points.
The exercises applying SPSS are done after the completion of the corresponding syllabus content.
1. Exam assessment: written test (65%) and SPSS test with report writing (35%).
Grade improvement involves taking the written test (65%) and the exercise applying SPSS (35%).

Students can choose to complete the course through assessment throughout the semester or through assessment by exam.
The assessment throughout the semester has the following components:
a) Oral presentation of text in groups and participation in classes (exercises and debates) (30% of the final grade)
b) Completion of a group written assignment (30%)
c) Final test (40%)
All assessment components are mandatory, and the minimum grade admitted in each is 8 out of 20.
More details on the components of the assessment throughout the semester:
a) The oral presentation of text in groups consists of the oral presentation of one or two texts by students, followed by a debate with the class. The intention is for students to present the text in their own words so that their peers understand it. After the presentation, they should provide a critical appraisal of the text and pose a question to generate debate in the classroom or think of an exercise. 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 assignment is done in groups, and the grade is given to the group. The instructions for the written assignment vary from year to year and are provided on the first day of class. The evaluation criteria for written assignments are as follows: 1) Formal clarity of the work (quality of writing, structure, interconnection of sections): 20%; 2) Coverage of required content (quality/depth of information presented): 50%; Critical analysis/reflection: 15%; 4) Number/quality of academic readings and appropriate incorporation of the consulted bibliography into the work: 15%.
c) The test is individual, without consultation, and includes all the material. The exam has five questions, and the student must answer four. All questions carry the same weight.
Regarding assessment by exam (100%), this includes all the material and consists of one essay question and five shorter mandatory questions.

Comparing Political Systems
This course first intends to review the classic and contemporary literature on types of political systems. Another aim is to confront the existing approaches with contemporary developments of the real world. Thirdly, the course will explain the intrinsic components of any political system (level of institutionalization, rules of access and degree of concentration of power, modes of legitimacy, and extent of coercion) from the specific traits and genetic context of particular political systems (e.g. totalitarian regimes of the left and of the right; types of democratic systems; the role of elections in authoritarian regimes, etc). Finally, we will look at whether particular types of non-democratic political systems are more or less prone to democratize. The general idea of the course is to give students a solid grounding of the classic and contemporary literatures and an understanding of the changing nature and wide variability of both ancient and present day political systems.
Program1-Political system and regime: origins and definitions
2-Feudalism, Absolutism and e Constitutionalism
3-Liberal regimes of the 19th century
4-Democracies: liberal, corporatist and social-democrat
5-European Fascism
6-Authoritarianism, Totalitarianism and Post-Totalitarianism
7-Empires and Post-colonial regimes
8-Authoritharianism in the age of democatization
9-Sub-national Authoritharianism
10-Democratic backsliding
Periodic evaluation: written examination test (100%). Writen final exam: optional (for students who have failed the course, with a grade below 10, and for students who wish to improve their grade)

Laboratory: Research Report in Political Science
At the end of the curricular unit, each student should be able to:
LO1. Apply concepts, methods, and techniques of political science to research questions;
LO2. Design and substantiate empirical hypotheses (or theoretical expectations) and test them;
LO3. Use bibliographic, documentary, and statistical sources;
LO4. Collect, locate, and process qualitative or quantitative data;
LO5. Analyse data using qualitative or quantitative methodologies;
LO6. Present empirical results and research findings in both oral and written format and constructively discuss peers' work.
PC1. Consolidation of students' research projects, from the perspective of feasibility and content.
PC2. Consolidation of the theoretical and conceptual framework of analysis: objectives, theory, analytical framework, and hypotheses (or theoretical expectations).
PC3. Instruments for collecting or locating qualitative or quantitative data.
PC4. Data analysis using qualitative or quantitative methodologies.
Assessment throughout the semester has the following components:
a) Attendance, participation in classes, and development of research throughout the semester (25%)
b) Completion of the two milestones (10%+10%= 20%)
c) Oral presentation of the final group project (15%)
d) Final group project (40%)
Note: Students being assessed throughout the semester must attend at least 70% of the classes. It is possible to complete the curricular unit by exam (see Observations).
More details on the components of assessment throughout the semester:
a) The development of research throughout the semester is assessed in frequent discussions between the lecturer and each group about the progress of the work. Being participative in classes means: asking questions that show you are following the material, participating in exercises, making constructive comments on other groups' work, and demonstrating an interested attitude. This assessment component is individual.
b) Throughout the semester, there are two milestones to be met on dates presented on the first day of classes.
Milestone 1 – Present the final version of the starting question, objectives, hypotheses, and operationalization of concepts. The first classes of the 2nd semester are dedicated to consolidating and improving the work developed in the 1st semester. This phase ends with Milestone 1. The milestone is completed in writing on two pages and sent to the lecturer by email.
Milestone 2 – Finalize the collection/location of the qualitative or quantitative empirical data necessary for the project. Groups that do not collect original data must meet this milestone 2 weeks before the groups that have original data and must have the data ready for analysis (e.g., recoded variables, etc.). This milestone is completed in the classroom. This assessment component is group-based.
c) On the penultimate day of classes, all groups give a brief presentation of the final project. Presentation content: starting question and/or objectives, hypotheses or theoretical expectations, operationalization of concepts (including control variables), methodology, data/VD presentation (if applicable), and data analysis (which may be more or less developed).
Note: All group members must be present on the day of the presentation and must present. There is always one group that comments on each group. The group presentation is assessed as a group, but the comments on other groups are assessed as part of point a).
d) Final project content: starting question, objectives, literature review, hypotheses, operationalization of concepts, description of data/methodology, brief description of the sample, data analysis by hypothesis, and conclusions.
Maximum 25 pages - including tables and figures, but excluding bibliography and appendices; 1.5 spacing, font size 12. The project is assessed as a group.

A. Evaluation trhoughouth the semester
Group oral presentation (40%)
• Each group is asked to choose one of the topics analyzed during the course and to discuss it;
• Students should necessarily use and apply the literature provided and discussed for this specific topic (at least 4 ‘text units’), as well as the power point material, with explicit references in their presentation;
• Each ‘text unit’ can be an article or a chapter. When an entire book is suggested, this means that students can choose, for their presentations, one or more chapters from the book;
• Inclusion of additional readings is welcome;
• The topic can be dealt with in an empirical way (e.g., small research on a theme of interest of the students, carried out applying the analytical and methodological tools given during the course) or theoretical (discussion of concepts debated during the course and in the literature).
• The topics cannot be repeated, in order to diversify the presentations;
• Discussion is part of the assessment;
• The dimension and number of the groups depend on the number of students choosing continuous assessment and can be adjusted.
Empirical individual work 60%
• The final assignment can be: a short essay of 1500 words; a short video of 7 minutes; an idea of a participatory democracy software or platform (only the design and its description); an idea and description of an e-governance tool; an idea of a digital call for demonstration;
• The assignment should use 5 units of content among those made available during the course: three text units and two other resources (e.g. videos, social media material, etc.).
• Students should develop their own analysis and view, in critical dialogue with the notions provided along the course;
• During the 8º Class, students briefly present the outline of their works (2-3 minutes each one). The presentation should include: title, main research question, relevance, sources and methods and eventual doubts/problems.
B. Option final exam
• The final exam is planned for students who cannot or are not willing to carry out the evaluation trhoughouth the esemester. Students are invited to answer to a series of open questions, which can be on any aspect discussed during the course.
Material
All the material for the course – e.g., detailed syllabus, assessment’s description, power point files, readings – is available on Moodle. It is a basic principle of the course not to provide readings which are available through the Iscte channels (library and Bon) or that are open access. The reason of this is the fact that literature searching is considered part of the training, as well as the familiarization of students with bibliographic physical and digital resources and tools.

A. Evaluation trhoughouth the semester
Group oral presentation (40%)
• Each group is asked to choose one of the topics analyzed during the course and to discuss it;
• Students should necessarily use and apply the literature provided and discussed for this specific topic (at least 4 ‘text units’), as well as the power point material, with explicit references in their presentation;
• Each ‘text unit’ can be an article or a chapter. When an entire book is suggested, this means that students can choose, for their presentations, one or more chapters from the book;
• Inclusion of additional readings is welcome;
• The topic can be dealt with in an empirical way (e.g., small research on a theme of interest of the students, carried out applying the analytical and methodological tools given during the course) or theoretical (discussion of concepts debated during the course and in the literature).
• The topics cannot be repeated, in order to diversify the presentations;
• Discussion is part of the assessment;
• The dimension and number of the groups depend on the number of students choosing this form of assessment and can be adjusted.
Empirical individual work 60%
• The final assignment is a short essay of 1500 words
• The assignment should use 5 units of content among those made available during the course: three text units and two other resources (e.g. videos, social media material, etc.).
• Students should develop their own analysis and view, in critical dialogue with the notions provided along the course;
• During the 8º Class, students briefly present the outline of their works (2-3 minutes each one). The presentation should include: title, main research question, relevance, sources and methods and eventual doubts/problems.
B. Option final exam
- The final exam is planned for students who are unable or unwilling to complete the assessment during the semester. Students must write a 5000-page essay on the key readings provided by the teacher. The essay must necessarily refer to these readings and analyse them in the text.
Material
All the material for the course – e.g., detailed syllabus, assessment’s description, power point files, readings – is available on Moodle. It is a basic principle of the course not to provide readings which are available through the Iscte channels (library and Bon) or that are open access. The reason of this is the fact that literature searching is considered part of the training, as well as the familiarization of students with bibliographic physical and digital resources and tools.

Internship in Political Science
The learning objectives of the UC are:
- to provide the possibility to apply the theoretical and methodological knowledge acquired in the classroom;
- to allow students to gain experience with the labour market and thus help them to identify future career goals;
- to prepare students for future employment situations.
1. Organisation of the placement process of students in internships.
2. Definition of the internship placement and its period of realisation.
3. Formalisation of the internship: elaboration of protocol, identification of the external coordinator, elaboration of the work plan in tandem with the institution, definition of the general objectives of the internship.
4. Preparation to integrate the internship site: orientation sessions.
5. Integration into the regular activities of the organisation/institution.
6. An internship report on the work carried out, including a characterisation of the organisation where the internship took place.
The evaluation will be based on two elements:
- internship plan (1-2 pages) + final report of the internship (10-15 pages) done by the student (see more details in the Observations) 50% of the final grade;
- evaluation of the internship by the professional entity (through the completion of a questionnaire) 50% of the final grade.
