Real Learning

Visiting Students

‌The School of Political Science and Sociology has a strongly international orientation. Our researchers and research clusters conduct and communicate their research internationally and participate in international research, policy and advocacy networks. Our curriculum is informed by our research and is global in its scope, providing diverse opportunities for in-depth elective studies. The School welcomes between 50-100 international students every year, including many European Erasmus and North American Junior Year Abroad students, as well as students and postgraduate fellows from many other countries.
