Hons in Political Science at University of Ottawa in Ottawa, Canada is a honours degree in Politics & International Relations programme. The programme runs for 4 years. Tuition for international students is CAD 21,668 per semester.
This undergraduate program leads to an Honours Bachelor of Social Science in Political Science from the University of Ottawa, offered in English and French with a French Immersion Stream and a cooperative education option available. The curriculum examines the principles and power relations that govern social life across four subfields: political thought, Canadian and Quebec politics, comparative politics, and international relations and global politics, engaging with topics such as citizenship, identity, political participation, globalization, governance, and democracy. Alongside basic writing skills courses, students complete eight compulsory political science courses and choose specialized electives from distinct course groups covering Canadian politics, comparative politics, and international relations, plus a further block of elective units that can instead be paired with a minor. The program is designed to give students comprehensive training in political science while allowing them to concentrate their elective choices in a particular regional or thematic area, such as a specific region's politics or a subfield like international relations. It suits students interested in the analysis of political systems, institutions, and power who want flexibility to shape their own area of focus within the discipline.
