The Political Science major at Nanjing Normal University is an undergraduate program that provides a comprehensive study of political systems, governance, public policy, and international relations. The curriculum combines theoretical foundations in political thought and institutions with applied analysis of contemporary political issues at local, national, and global levels. Core coursework typically includes political theory, comparative politics, public administration, international relations, Chinese politics, political economy, and research methods. Students learn how political actors and institutions operate, how public policies are formulated and implemented, and how international dynamics influence global affairs. Emphasis is placed on developing critical thinking, analytical research skills, and effective communication, enabling students to interpret political behaviour, analyse policy problems, and engage constructively in civic life. Graduates are well prepared for careers in government and public service, policy research, international organisations, education, media, and public affairs, as well as for advanced study in political science, public administration, law, and related social science disciplines.
