This program is designed to give our students strong theoretical foundations in Political Science and International Relations in combination with real world insights provided by our unique Faculty who provide the needed links between theory and the empirical world of “field experience”. This includes ample use of case studies that provide insights on how to properly use models, analytical tools, strategic planning, policy-making, diplomacy, international negotiations and more. The core and elective courses fall under four main subjects: international relations, comparative politics, political theory and Turkish politics. The curriculum is interdisciplinary in nature and incorporates fields such as history, law, philosophy, economics, sociology, geography and anthropology.
