Quality assurance and figures

The programmes in political science are strong courses. The bachelor's degree, for example, is praised for its broad and clear profile. The recently introduced English-taught master's programme will also offer an opportunity to make the focus of the profile of the master's programme clearer to the outside world. In any case, the structure of the English-taught master's programme has been established steadily, self-consciously and well considered and is without doubt an asset to the international character of the faculty and the programmes in Political Science at UAntwerp.

A strength of the different programmes is the way in which they are organized. The close, well-considered and cumulative structure through clear learning tracks throughout the study programmes is greatly appreciated. Additionally, there a strong commitment to work with activating methods in the bachelor’s programme. In the master's programme there is also a strong commitment to focus sufficiently on practice. Absolute assets are the skills lab and the (optional) research internship that students can opt for. It is likely that the focus on practice and on the professional field will be strengthened further if the programmes succeed in re-establishing the sounding board group with representatives of their work field.
