Political Science is the study of power dynamics. It is the independent and informed study of politics, governments, public policies and political processes, of political systems, institutions and behaviour. Political scientists use both humanistic and scientific perspectives and tools to examine local, national, regional, and global political processes, institutions and relationships and to consider how we ought to live as political communities.
Career opportunities
Political Science students gain a versatile set of skills that can be applied in a wide range of exciting careers both within politics (international, national and local political institutions eg, the UN, humanitarian inter-governmental organisations, parliaments, city councils) and in more diverse areas such as law, business, education and journalism.
Recent graduates have been employed in the ministries of foreign affairs and trade, defence, immigration and justice as well as the Treasury, Te Puni Kokiri, Parliament and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. Political Science specialists fare well in roles that value a questioning mind, superb communication skills and a strong understanding of systems and social issues such as the news media, trade unions, teaching and the finance industry (eg, banking and investment).
