Top Global Universities To Study Political Science

Political Science written on a black board

Political Science is one of the most popular subjects in the world. Its relevance has never been lost, as politics remains a key feature of human governance. As the name suggests, political science undertakes a scientific assessment of politics and everything about it. From systems of governance to political ideologies, a student of political science learns everything that makes politics what it is.

Considering its importance in human affairs, one must always opt for its degree programs from universities with a reputation for delivering excellence. There are tons of universities with courses on political science but only a handful of them offer a strong theoretical and analytical curriculum on the subject. You can find the names of a few of them down below.

  1. Harvard University, US
    The oldest institution of higher education in the United States of America, Harvard University has a long, illustrious legacy that keeps getting stronger. Nearly every academic program offered here ranks among the top in the world – and there are as many as 10 academic faculties with several departments. In addition to these academic faculties, there is also the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, Arts and Sciences. While the tuition fee at Harvard is nothing to sneeze at, its humungous endowment allows it to support students financially. Many Rhodes Scholars, Turing Award laureates, Pulitzer Prize winners, and Olympians have been its alumni.

  1. University of Oxford, UK
    We all know why the University of Oxford is so amazing. It has a long history – as long as 925 years – and holds a special place for being the oldest university in the English-speaking world. Presently, its academic organization comprises 39 constituent colleges, permanent halls, and an array of departments. Being an elite university, it has secured memberships in many respected associations such as the League of European Research Universities, the International Alliance of Research Universities, and the Russel Group. As many as 28 Prime Ministers of the country have been its graduates.

  1. Sciences Po, France
    Properly named as the Paris Institute of Political Studies, Sciences Po holds a formidable place in the world of Politics. Founded in the year 1872, it went on to offer some of the world’s best courses in social sciences. There are 7 campuses in the country each offering different specialization courses. There are also 7 graduate-level schools in its organization including the School of Public Affairs, Urban School, Paris School of International Affairs, and Doctoral School. About 6 Presidents of the French Fifth Republic including the incumbent Emmanuel Macron have been its alumni.

  1. London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), UK
    One of the most esteemed institutions in the world of high-quality research, the London School of Economics and Political Science was founded in the year 1895 and is best at what its name suggests. Over at LSE, students can avail themselves of a range of courses such as social psychology, social policy, international relations, criminology, and anthropology. Its contribution to global research is immense and has been ranked among the highest – all the credit goes to the works done in many of its research centers such as the Centre for Climate Change Economics and Policy. Its alumni list is as expansive as it gets and includes many Heads of State, billionaires, and Nobel laureates.

  1. University of Cambridge, UK
    If it weren’t for Oxford, there wouldn’t have been the University of Cambridge. That being said, the latter stands high and mighty because it is a top-tier university with irresistible credentials. It is the second oldest university in the English-speaking world and has charted all the way up on the world rankings. There are 31 colleges in its constitution, more than 100 academic departments, and 6 schools. Its research output is rated quite high in several indices, and it has entered into several international affiliations and partnerships to further its contribution such as the Cambridge-MIT Institute. Also, its graduates have been Olympians, Turing award laureates, Nobel Laureates, and British Prime Ministers.
