Guru Ghasidas Vishwavidyalaya, a Central University established in 1983 and accredited by NAAC, is providing a holistic Online MA in Political Science with an aim to empower students with theoretical knowledge on political theories, systems, and contemporary political situations. This two-year postgraduate program is aimed at learners who wish to have a flexible learning career that would not compromise the vigour of their program of study; therefore, a perfect course for working professionals, new graduates, and those with an interest in pursuing further knowledge in political science from any part of the country.

The curriculum combines classical political thought and contemporary analytical methods, subjecting an extensive array of topics to its study, ranging from ancient and contemporary Western political philosophy to comparative politics, international relations, postcolonial political systems of India, to public administration. Students are encouraged to think and learn critically about political ideologies, develop an ability to think about world political processes and a country’s political processes, and gain research and analytical skills that are greatly valued in academia, public policy, government, and the non-profit sector.

Guru Ghasidas Vishwavidyalaya’s faculty comprises many years of academic and practical experience, which creates a learning environment where students can discuss, argue, and work together on real-world political problems. The online mode means that learners have access to the digital resources, the digitally recorded lectures, and the interactive learning sessions, so that quality education is available beyond geographical boundaries. With a view towards holistic development, the program also provides internships and placements, especially with NGOs and policy organisations, preparing the graduates for varied career routes in instruction, research, administration, and public service.
