The goal of the Department is to educate political professionals who master in theory and practice. Much emphasis
is put on students' preliminary knowledge and understanding, as well as ability of critical thinking. The Department
also puts emphasis on interactions between teachers and students aiming at the development of political personalities
of cosmopolitanism, elegance, modesty and serenity.
Undergraduate Programs
The Division of Politics and Theories puts its focus on the combination of theory and practice. The Division of International
Relations puts its focus on global governance. The scope of the required courses is broad. At the same time, students could
choose a variety of inter-disciplinary non-required courses. Furthermore, there are several all English courses.
Master Degree Program

include comparative politics, political economy, local governance, and constitutional democracy. The main subjects of the Division
of International Relations include international politics, cross-strait relations, international law, and regional integration. All courses
