Bachelor in Political Science and Public Administration

Political science and public administration is the study of political systems, government institutions, and the processes by which public policy is developed and implemented. Students study political theory, comparative politics, public administration principles, and public policy analysis, alongside coursework in constitutional law, local government, and international relations. The curriculum typically includes study of bureaucratic organization, budgeting and public finance, and the relationship between citizens, government institutions, and civil society, combining theoretical study with case-based analysis of policy issues. Graduates pursue careers in public sector administration, working in local and national government agencies, alongside roles in policy analysis, non-governmental organizations, and international institutions. Others enter political consulting, journalism covering politics and government, or continue into graduate study in public policy, political science, or international relations. The analytical and research skills developed through the program also transfer to roles in research organizations and think tanks. This 4-year bachelor's program is offered at Hitit University in Çorum, Turkey, with instruction delivered in English. Students study political science and public administration through an English-medium curriculum, engaging with international scholarship in the field from the beginning of their studies. Çorum, a provincial city with active local government institutions, offers students a setting for observing public administration practice at a municipal level alongside their coursework. The English-medium format supports graduates who plan to pursue further study or work in international organizations, government bodies, or research institutions after completing the degree.
