POLITICAL SCIENCE

Political Science is the study of different systems of government, of political institutions such as parliament, cabinet and courts of law, and of how these institutions work together in society. Just as importantly, political science studies how these institutions relate to citizens in their everyday life. You will examine political forces such as governing powers, political parties, interest groups, and the relationships between them. You will consider key questions such as: How do governments deal with policy issues of immigration and education? How do they make decisions about war and peace?
