The Master's degree in Political Science is a generalist Master's degree. It provides students with a general, demanding training, intended to develop their critical thinking. The Master provides students with conceptual and methodological tools allowing them to think about the State in all its facets, and in its interactions with other components of the society. It questions the State according to a multidisciplinary approach. It is based in particular on two pillars: political sociology and political philosophy, being open to history and economics. The courses offered focus more particularly on Morocco, within an African and Mediterranean context. Specialization is progressive, through the choice of elective courses and the End of Studies Project, as well as an optional internship. This measured specialization gives the student strong adaptability, necessary for long-term professional integration.
