Considering that teaching and scientific research are integral components of university education and complement each other, it is deemed necessary to open the Master’s Program in Political Science and International Relations to enhance the quality of the teaching process and expand and deepen the academic research process. Furthermore, the existence of faculty members capable of conducting the Master’s Program in Political Science and International Relations, and the diversity in our academic staff in the fields of political science and international relations, constitute fundamental motivations for establishing this program. The primary objectives of the proposed Master’s program are as follows:
