Political scientists deal with research related to the behaviour of people in politics, political organizations, the origins and organization of institutions, and ideologies in politics and administration. It is common for political scientists to specialize in the politics of a particular country, period or region, or in a particular side of politics.
As a political scientist, you could, for example, work in the media and information sector, with consulting firms, in international relations, in public administration or with interest groups and pressure groups. Political scientists are also involved in teaching at the secondary and university levels.
