About

Being one of only three full-fledged political science departments in Austria, Political Science at the University of Salzburg offers particular strengths in environmental policy, international trade policy and political economy, political thought as well as a comparative focus on Austria in its European and international context. Unique among Austrian academic institutions is the Department’s affiliation with the Salzburg Center of European Union Studies – designated a Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence in 2008 - , most of whose faculty are also members in Political Science. Being comprehensive in nature, Political Science at the University of Salzburg offers the full range of academic training from the B.A. to the Ph.D.. In 2005 the Master program in European Union Studies was launched, offering an interdisciplinary education in European Politics, European Union law, economics and European history. Faculty members regularly publish in leading, peer-reviewed journals in the discipline and have also produced a substantial number of monographs and edited volumes.
