The mission of the School of Political and Social Sciences is to produce talented specialists with fundamental knowledge and the methodological, empirical and analytical skills necessary for study in the field. We prepare students for productive roles in society and for carrying out effective professional activity. Our students participate in important social events that help to form their professional perspectives. We enable students to develop analytical skills and acquire a high degree of knowledge in their specialty.

The curriculum analyses important questions and academic debates in political philosophy, comparative politics, democratisation, political economy, electoral behavior, political parties, elitism, political sociology and human rights- with each equally contributing to different scientific theories and views.

Classes ensure the development of critical, independent thinking. These skills deepen political knowledge and personalise ethical judgments on issues under discussion. The noteworthy intellectual level of scientific and practical knowledge maintains high course standards. Instructors take advantage of every opportunity to ensure that our school remains at the forefront of educational excellence.
