Organisation profile

The Institute of Political Science (IPW) is responsible for all matters related to research, teaching and the study of political science. As part of the School of Public Affairs, the IPW's main objective is to consistently offer high-quality teaching course for various degree programs. Moreover, the Department promotes research as well as internationally visible publications across a broad range of topics. The research activities of the Institute’s members are documented on the webpage of the Center for the Study of Democracy (CSD). For updates on public lectures and conferences, please consult the CSD`s website ZDEMO.

Main research areas

Die Forschungsaktivitäten der IPW Mitarbeiter*innen sind dabei am Zentrum für Demokratieforschung (ZDEMO) konzentriert. Aktuelle Hinweise auf Vorträge und Konferenzen in den Teilbereichen der Politikwissenschaft finden sich daher auf den Seiten des ZDEMO.

Im "Tuesday Seminar" stellen Mitglieder des Instituts und von auswärts geladene Gäste ihre aktuellen Forschungs- oder Buchprojekte vor und stellen sie zur kritischen, aber fairen Diskussion unter Kolleginnen und Kollegen. Studierende sind herzlich dazu eingeladen!
