BA Political Science

The BA Political Science at SD Dombo University of Business and Integrated Development Studies is a degree in the social sciences. It explores how power, governance, and public policy shape societies, and prepares you for work in government, civil society, and related fields.

What political science covers

Programmes of this kind usually examine how political systems work, from local government to international relations. You will study political theory, the institutions of the state, public administration, and the way policies are made and implemented. The field also looks at political behaviour, including elections, parties, and civic participation, giving you a solid understanding of how societies organise and govern themselves.

What graduates do afterwards

Most political science graduates go into areas where understanding politics and policy is valued. Common paths include public service, political research and analysis, working for NGOs, journalism, and legal support roles. Some graduates also move into corporate roles where government relations and public affairs matter, or continue to postgraduate study in political science, law, or public administration.

How hard it is to get a place

Entry to this programme is less competitive than many other degree courses. That means your chances of gaining admission are generally better, but you still need to meet the university's published requirements. Check whether your WASSCE grades qualify before applying.
