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 Partnerships, and Debates in Economics and 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.
