There are many factors that distinguish the Department of Political Science and International Relations at İstanbul Şehir University: its unique and comprehensive curriculum, modern and interactive teaching methods, close and caring student advising, prominent, accomplished and dedicated faculty members, and most importantly, its outstanding students.

Our faculty members hold degrees from prominent national and international institutions. Their books and other academic publications in leading journals point to the quality and significance of their research.

We take teaching seriously. Our up-to-date, dynamic and flexible course curriculum aim to provide our students with rigorous background in theoretical, conceptual and methodological knowledge. We train our students to cultivate their abilities to think critically and analytically as well as to express their thoughts and observations clearly. We emphasize our students’ interdisciplinary training as well to enable them to critically evaluate and discuss the multi-dimensional causes and effects of national and international political, economic, and social issues and events holistically but also with analytıcal rigor. Toward this end, they study the conceptual and theoretical contributions of other social science disciplines and the humanities. The strength of such social science and humanities programs as history, sociology, psychology, literature, and law at ŞEHİR enriches the educational and academic potential of our program. This cooperation and the flexibility of our program enable our students to major in two disciplines or to do a minor degree in a second field. We provide careful advising to our students to help them make the most of all these opportunities and fulfill their potential.

The quality of our program should explain why we rank among the first ten departments nationally in all scholarship categories. The admission of a great number of our graduates by internationally prominent MA and PhD programs likewise attests to the quality and the reputation of our program. Our international students, who comprise nearly one third of all of our students, meet very high international achievement standards and contribute to the academic and international quality of our programs in important ways.

Gaining the requisite skills and knowledge for a successful career, our graduates are employed in state and non-state sectors such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, private corporations, national and international media companies, research institutions, and civil society organizations.
