MPhil Political Science Education

This MPhil in Political Science Education is a postgraduate degree from the University of Education, Winneba, delivered through the Faculty of Social Sciences Education. It prepares you to teach, research, and lead in the field of political science education. The programme is less competitive to enter than many other graduate options, giving qualified applicants a strong chance of admission.

What political science education programmes cover

Programmes of this kind usually combine the study of politics with the practice of teaching. You look at how political systems, theories, and international relations are taught and learned, and you develop the skills to design lessons, assess students, and build curricula. Research training is also central, as you learn to carry out studies on political behaviour, education policy, and classroom practice. Graduates come away with a solid foundation in both political science and the methods used to teach it.

How competitive is admission?

Admission to this programme is less competitive than for many other postgraduate degrees in education or the social sciences. That means the entry barrier is lower, but it is still an academic master's programme. You should confirm your eligibility by checking the official admission requirements from the university, as they will list any specific qualifications you need.
