Sciences Po

How can states and citizens act in the face of the climate threat? Why does the far right win elections? What are the ways of resolving armed conflicts? Does the European Union have a future after Brexit? Political science provides analytical keys for studying these issues.

The bachelor's degree in political science is cutting-edge training for those who want to understand the transformations of contemporary societies and become players in NGOs, governments, companies, European and international institutions.

I've always been fascinated by geopolitics, and studying political science caught my attention straight away. It's a course that dissects the workings of contemporary human societies, and I find it simply fascinating. There's great diversity in the fields studied in political science. You never do the same thing, it trains you to be versatile and constantly opens you up to new horizons. I chose UNamur for its proximity. Geographically, because I've lived in Namur all my life, but also in terms of the personal support I get from my students.

Political science studies cover a wide range of subjects, from institutions and political systems to communication, economics and law... I particularly enjoy the practical work. They encourage us to think about certain social issues. They also allow us to check that we've understood the material. We also take part in visits to understand what goes on in court, in the Assize Court, in the Walloon Parliament... I chose to study in Namur for the quality of the political science training and for the charm of the town. Namur is a pleasant town, and the downtown campus makes it easy to meet students from other faculties.
