The Department of Political Science at the Faculty of Social Studies, Masaryk University, was founded in 1990 with the ambition to provide comprehensive education in the field of political sciences. Over time, the department has become a well-respected academic institution both domestically and internationally. The academic staff is comprised of high-level experts in their respective fields. 

Currently, the department offers two study programs in Czech and one in English:

• Political Science
• Security and Strategy Studies
• Conflict and Democracy Studies (English, MA only)

The BA and MA programs both in Political Science and Security and Strategy Studies are full-time study programs (part-time study is not offered at either level). The doctoral degree can be studied either full-time or part-time.
