    About Politologia

    At University of Warsaw, tuition is 4,300 EUR per year.

    Master's Degree Studies in Political Science at the University of Warsaw run two years and are taught in English, with annual tuition of 3000 EUR, based in Warszawa, Poland. The programme is open to candidates holding a first-cycle degree, such as a bachelor's degree completed as a licencjat programme in Poland or an equivalent qualification elsewhere, as well as to those who already hold a second-cycle degree, such as a magister degree completed in Poland or its equivalent abroad. Applicants are expected to bring a general understanding of political phenomena and processes at the global, regional, national, and local levels, together with the ability to analyse relationships between political institutions, societies, and individuals. Candidates should also understand the historical roots and contemporary workings of political systems, and be able to solve straightforward professional problems, participate in and manage team work, and communicate effectively, including the ability to organise, convert, and distribute information. English proficiency sufficient to study in that language is required; candidates who do not meet the required knowledge, skills, or social competences may be asked to complete compensatory courses. The programme mixes theoretical and practical subjects to build extensive knowledge, skills, and social competences in political science, with a strong focus on Europe, particularly the European Union along with Central and Eastern Europe. This regional emphasis distinguishes the Warsaw programme from more globally oriented political science degrees, situating graduates to work on EU-related policy, diplomacy, and research. Based in Warszawa, the University of Warsaw offers students proximity to national government institutions, embassies, and EU-related organisations relevant to the field of study.
