Who has the power in the state - and how is it exercised? Under what social conditions do democracies emerge, and under what autocracies? What causes the prosperity gap between rich and poor countries? What political solutions are conceivable in the face of global climate change?

These are just a few of the topics that political scientists in Kassel deal with. Research and teaching revolve around international relations, political systems, economics, environmental research and development policy.

Those who study politics at the University of Kassel can acquire the basics of the subject in all its breadth. By choosing a minor subject, each student can set an individual focus. In addition to the subject-specific training, key qualifications related to the professional field such as rhetoric and language skills are also taught. Prerequisites for study are a keen interest in social processes, enjoyment of extensive reading and analysis and a willingness to learn academic methods.

The qualification objective of the Bachelor's degree course in Political Science is geared towards professional qualification on the one hand, and on the other hand the degree forms the basis for further studies at university. The curriculum includes a combination of technical and methodological knowledge of the subject. The compulsory work placement and the implementation of projects promote students' professional orientation.
