Political Science (research) (MSc)
As one of the largest institutes in Europe, Leiden’s Political Science Institute encompasses a wide range of research interests, spanning subjects such as political philosophy, political behaviour, comparative politics, national politics and international relations.
The central theme of its research programme is ‘The Institutions of Politics: Design, Workings, and Implications’.
Graduate students can play a key role in the institute, engaging in collaborative projects with faculty members. Such activities have led to high numbers of publications authored by and co-authored with graduate students in recent years.
