The Board of Studies for Political Science

In cooperation with the director of studies and the study administration, the board of studies for Political Science organises your degree programme. The board of studies consists of 8 members with an equal representation of students and academic staff. The members are elected at the university elections. For information about the university elections, please read more here.

The tasks of the board of studies

The primary task for the board of studies is to ensure the organisation, performance and development of your degree programme, teaching activities as well as exams. For instance, this includes the composition of degree programmes and suggestions for changes to the academic regulations for your degree programme. Moreover, it includes follow-up on evaluations of the education and teaching, and discussions of matters of importance to your degree programme.

In addition, the board of studies processes applications for exemptions, pre-approval and credit transfers. Please read more about exemptions and the guidelines for applying here.
