What is Political Science?
The famous philosopher Aristotle once remarked that "politics is the art of living together". Political science explores how political decisions and institutions, within and between states, make this possible. At NUS, we put the spotlight on Asian and Comparative Politics, International Relations, Political Theory, Governance and Public Policy and the Government and Politics of Singapore.
As a student of Political Science, you will be encouraged to pursue your own interests and projects and you will be able to work with internationally prominent researchers and award-winning teachers. Our graduates are always in demand and go on to pursue successful professional careers in many sectors, including the civil service, education, business, finance, law and media.
