Bachelor in Political Science (BA)

The Bachelor's programme in Political Science at Leuphana University Lüneburg addresses the political dimensions of complex societal challenges such as economic globalisation, cross-border migration, and climate change, examining how these are handled within democratic structures and processes. The programme runs over six semesters and is embedded in Leuphana's interdisciplinary College study model. Students begin with the Leuphana Semester, a shared first semester focused on the foundations of scientific thinking. The Political Science major is then combined with a Minor that deepens or supplements the main subject with another discipline, and Complementary Studies that allow students to explore a different field of knowledge each semester. The programme is taught in German and starts in the winter semester. The programme is offered at Leuphana University Lüneburg, located in Lüneburg, Germany.
