In our days there are hardly any events and issues with no political implications. The Center of Political Science aims at introducing the students to the world of political science through some foundational courses and access to key concepts, typologies and linkeges, making them better prepared to understand, interpret and analyse politics. Building on those foundations our Center offers theoretical and competence-developing courses, philosophical and practical knowledge. The members of the Center are engaged in research activities, the topics of which partially overlap with our educational program. The research projects are also open to our students to gain professional experience and networking opportunities. In our teaching and research activities we devote special attention to the issues of East Central Europe in general, and the Carpathian basin in particular. On current issues and topics of student interests, which are not fully covered by our courses, we invite external lecturers and organise public debates. We also have regular domestic and international study trips to enrich the knowledge and experience of our community of experts and students.
