社会科学（政治学） Master of Social Sciences (Political Science)

The Political Science Programme at UKM's Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities was established in 1976 and is today run under the Research Centre for History, Politics and International Affairs (SPHEA). As one of the earliest political science programmes in Malaysia, it laid the groundwork for allied sub-disciplines such as international relations, international political economy, and strategic and security studies. The programme aims to produce graduates who master political science knowledge, think critically, and possess research skills applicable to governance, diplomacy and public administration. The Master of Social Science is offered by coursework, combining political theory and ideology, international politics, political economy and comparative politics.
