Welcome to the Department of Political Science at the University of Toronto.

A key part of Canada’s top university, we are comprised of nearly one hundred faculty and staff members, three hundred graduate students and post-doctoral fellows, two thousand undergraduate students, and a truly global alumni network.

Name a scholarship, fellowship, or distinguished award in any of our dynamic fields of study, and we can list a winner, often many winners, from the Department.

On our website you will find programs, courses, seminars, conferences, and research, travel, and partnership opportunities to match any and all interests in politics, international relations, and public policy.
