Special features regarding teaching

Bamberg Political Science is characterised by an excellent supervision ratio. The teaching concepts used are interdisciplinary, research-oriented and internationally oriented. We teach Political Science as an empirical social science, so that students learn political content and innovative teaching methods in a practice-oriented way. Students are taught by internationally successful top researchers and can also gain an insight into research as part of numerous third-party-funded projects.
