Introduktion
Indlæggelser
Læreplan
Kurser, der kræves til dette hovedfag, omfatter alle større underdiscipliner af dette felt: Politisk teori, sammenlignende politik, internationale relationer, politisk økonomi samt forskningsmetoder. De tværfaglige valgfag opfordrer eleverne til at se på politiske spørgsmål fra andre discipliners perspektiv.
Sammenlignet med den mere anvendte hovedfag i internationale relationer er hovedfaget i statskundskab mere humanistisk og disciplinært. Denne hovedfag giver fremragende forberedelse til kandidatstudier og karrierer inden for områder som jura, journalistik, rådgivning, udviklingsbistand eller uddannelse.
