BS Political Science – Lahore College for Women University

Lahore College for Women University offers BS Political Science, a four-year degree for women, at its main campus on Jail Road, Lahore. The Fall 2026 admission notice lists the program under the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences on regular seats only.

Program Overview

Political Science studies power, government and political behaviour. The program covers political theory and philosophy, comparative politics, Pakistan’s constitutional and political development, international relations, public administration, political economy, research methods and contemporary issues such as federalism, governance and human rights, with seminar discussions and a final-year research paper.

The degree suits students interested in current affairs, law, diplomacy and public service, and those planning to appear in CSS, PMS or other competitive examinations where Political Science is a popular optional subject.
