Program Information

School:Western University
Faculty:Social Science
Degree:Bachelor; Honours
Field of Study:Political Science and Government, General
Description:Let’s talk politics. Societies have rules; within a polity (a society with common governance), we call the rules laws. Where do the rules come from? How and why do they change? What is the intention (policy) behind a rule? What do the data say about the consequences of a given policy? What do we know about political persuasion? Is a given change a positive trend or not?

We love these questions, and all their detailed variations. Study Political Science with us and you gain the skills essential to any profession, from analyzing data to communicating persuasively.

You can complete this program as a Bachelor or an Honours Bachelor degree. Registration in the honours degree usually begins in the second year, but admission may be gained in the third or fourth year provided you meet requirements.
