Politics involves the day-to-day life of all people in each of their personal and professional interactions. The Bachelor's Degree in Political Science and Public Management will train you in the structure and functioning not only of the Public Administration but also of the Government and Parliament. Political ideas and their origins, social movements, political parties and electoral processes will form the basis of your training.

The political systems of the surrounding area receive special attention without detracting from the learning of other European and world reference models. Likewise, the Degree will provide you with a solid training in international relations.

You will have the choice of specializing in any of these three majors or career paths: Political Analysis and Consultancy, Public Analysis and Administration, or International Relations.

This degree has obtained the Dual University Training Quality Seal awarded by Unibasq - Agency for Quality of the Basque University System, so you will have the option of taking the dual track.
