Bachelor in Licence - Science politique

Political science, offered here as a Licence at Université d'Amiens, France, is the academic discipline devoted to studying political systems, institutions, ideas, and behavior. Students in this field typically study comparative politics, political theory, public law, international relations, and the history of political thought, alongside coursework in sociology, economics, and history that provides broader context for understanding political life. Methodological training in research, argumentation, and the analysis of current political events is generally woven throughout the degree as well. Graduates with a background in political science pursue a range of paths, including further study toward careers in public administration, journalism, law, or international organizations, as well as roles in political communication, advocacy, and public policy analysis. The discipline is also commonly used as preparation for postgraduate study in law, international affairs, or public management, including for students aiming at competitive examinations for the civil service or specialized political science institutes. This Licence runs for three years and begins in September, based at Université d'Amiens in Amiens, a city in the Hauts-de-France region of northern France. Instruction is delivered in French, so applicants should be prepared to follow lectures, seminars, and written assessments on political theory and institutions in that language throughout the degree. Yearly tuition is 178 EUR, consistent with standard French public university fees. Amiens offers a university city setting with regional political and administrative institutions that provide relevant context for students in this field. Those interested in the analysis of political institutions, public affairs, and civic life may find this program a suitable route into further academic or professional work connected to politics and governance.
