Teaching plan for Spring 2026

All master's level courses offered at the Department of Political Science are open to students enrolled in the Master in Peace and Conflict Studies (PECOS) and the Master in Political Science. The only exceptions are the mandatory courses in the first semester and the master's thesis courses, which are reserved for students in their respective programs. Please note that some courses are taught in Norwegian.

You choose one course per block, meaning a total of three courses per semester. Students who wish to take more than one course per block must contact the department in advance. This is necessary to ensure that all program students are guaranteed a place.
