University provides integrated training at MA and PhD
levels.The program offers a comprehensive and up-to-date
review of the major fields of Political Science and
provides the students with a rigorous conceptual
framework, basic analytical tools
and sound methodological training in the discipline.
The program covers the major fields of Political Science
(Comparative Politics, International Relations,
Political Theory) and offers a rich set of specialization
possibilities. With a thematic concentration on
Turkish Politics, Middle Eastern Politics, and
European Politics, the program stands out among its
competitors in Turkey by its courses and faculty members
specializing in formal theory and the production
and analysis of quantitative evidence.
While some graduates of the MA program choose to pursue
their careers in business, public administration or other
professions, others enroll in PhD programs abroad or they
move up to our integrated PhD program. The admission
decisions concerning MA students are made by a
committee consisting of the members of the graduate program
in Political Science. The committee makes its decisions
taking into account (a) the applicant's performance in the
"PhD gateway exam", and (b) the applicant's general
performance in the courses in the field.
