Department of Political Science and Public Administration

ABOUT US

              The Department of Political Science and Public Administration was established in 2010 within the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities. In 2017, after the establishment of the Faculty of Political Sciences, it transferred to the Faculty of Political Sciences.
            The department consists of four main disciplines: Administrative Sciences, Political and Social Sciences, Urbanization and Environmental Problems, and Legal Sciences.
            The Department of Political Science and Public Administration, as a discipline aimed at understanding and developing politics, the state and public bureaucracy, aims to provide an education based on ideas, policies, practices and methods that will enable the state to function more effectively and efficiently, and to train well-equipped individuals in this direction.
            The aim of the Department of Political Science and Public Administration, with its experienced and dynamic staff, is to train senior managers, bureaucrats, and academics who will play an active role in both the public and private sectors.
            While the Department of Political Science and Public Administration covers topics such as power, authority, legitimacy, social class, gender, ethnicity, and political participation, it also includes institutions such as the state, government, political parties, pressure groups, and international organizations. The discipline also examines and studies political justice, ideologies, and political ideas such as freedom, democracy, moral values, and equality.
