For this purpose, the students will be taking courses on political theories, international relations theories, foreign policy, leadership, conflict and peace, international treaties, and law.

The students are encouraged for a learning skill that will extend to their future for critically questioning and learning after they graduate; enabling them to handle future problems, especially during authoritative decision making. Therefore, one of the aims of the program is to provide graduates with both practical and intellectual skills that will be useful on their career paths. Some of these practical skills include advancing on speaking and writing in a foreign language, on using technology, organizing their responsibilities, and recognizing ways to design and collect research materials; while intellectual skills include research design and application abilities and critical thinking on theories and contemporary issues.

Entry Requirement 

Graduation Requirements

The Political Science and International Relations Undergraduate degree program comprise 122 credits of full-time study which must be completed. In order to graduate, students are required to have a minimum cumulative average of 2.00 out of a possible total of 4.00.   

ECTS (European Credit Transfer System)

FIU’s credit allocation system has also been carefully aligned with the European Credit Transfer System on the basis of 1 ECTS credit requiring 25 hours of student work both inside and outside formal classes.

A four-year FIU degree is, therefore, equivalent to 240 ECTS credits, or approximately 30 ECTS credits per semester.

Over the course of a full calendar year, in order to meet program requirements, it is expected that a student would therefore need to study 1500 hours, including classes, home study and holiday study.

Individual courses are not currently assigned ECTS credit values, but departments will advise on equivalences and priorities.

Diploma

Students graduating from the program are awarded a BA in Political Science and International Relations.
