Study Abroad

The Department of Political Science is a partner in Socrates exchanges with the Institut d'études politiques in Strasbourg and Paris, the University of Zurich, the University of Bologna, and the University of Mannheim.

Students taking Political Science as a subject in joint honors may also go abroad on an exchange administered by their other department, subject to approval of their course of study abroad by the Department of Political Science. There is close co-operation among the four departments involved in the BESS programme (Business Studies, Economics, Political Science and Sociology).

In addition there are opportunities for students to go on one of several international exchanges. These are open to all students on a College-wide basis and students must apply for these through the International Admissions & Study Abroad office.
