The advantage of this department is that it merges theoretical and practical studies.  Students believe that this allows them to put their knowledge to use in individual and group research.

A degree in political science ensures a successful and competitive career in Latvia’s political, social and business sectors.  Potential employers are well familiar with graduates – state and local government institutions, public organisations, political parties, funds, and – particularly in recent times – international institutions, including those of the European Union.
