The Program helps foster critical thinking and leads to a natural connection between theory and practice in compliance with increasing demands towards contemporary standards of education, ensuring graduates’ employability within the country as well as abroad. The Program’s core courses cover essential issues of the history of political thought and the questions it raises on the design of the political and social order, traditional and modern political ideologies, which serve as the basis for studying political science. The core part of the Program provides students with extensive knowledge of the theoretical foundations of International Relations (IR), research methods and field research specificities, current processes and their historical context, as well as subdisciplines and key issues in IR. Furthermore, special focus is made at understanding the economic aspects of modern international relations as well as resilient issues that shape contemporary international politics. Rigorous attention is paid to learning basic elements of research design. With a view to equipping the students with the ability to frame the knowledge they receive, research methodology in social sciences is the course to provides these tools. Finally, a special place is assigned to covering core issues of Georgia’s foreign policy as well as the politics of European Integration.
