Department of Political Science and Public Administration

Hello everyone. I am Kadriye Büşra DERNEK. I am a second-year student studying Political Science and Public Administration. The purpose of the Department of Political Science and Public Administration is to educate competent individuals who can comprehend the true essence of political science and solve problems related to public administration. Our department offers courses such as political science, local governments, macro and microeconomics, political sociology, general management, finance, and basic concepts of law. Our faculty has a finance and computer laboratory. Optional internships are available in our department. Political Science and Public Administration graduates have a wide range of career opportunities, with the most interesting ones being district governorship and administrative judiciary. Besides, you can work in various positions in the public sector. The main reason I chose Political Science and Public Administration is my interest in the field and my desire to study in a department I love. During my high school years, I had teachers who graduated from Balıkesir University, and when I talked to them, I said, "Balıkesir University caught my attention, and I can live and study here." That's why I chose Balıkesir University. The greatest advantage in our department is our faculty members. Additionally, we have various student organizations in which we can participate in social activities. Our campus also has a library where we can access all kinds of resources. After graduation, I plan to continue my education with a master's degree and pursue an academic career. Moreover, I want to do my master's degree at Balıkesir University as well. Balıkesir University is a constantly developing institution. If you have an interest in this field, it can be among your preferences. I wish the best of luck to all the candidates who will take the university entrance exam. We would be happy to see you in the Political Science and Public Administration Department at Balıkesir University.
