Welcome to Bugema University - E-Learning Platform.

The course is designed to introduce students to the subject of Political Science.  It examines various concepts related to the discipline and tries to investigate the relationships between Politics and Society.  Approaches and methods to the study of the subject are examined in detail in order to equip the students with analytical skills so as to relate ideas to practice and theory of Political Science. Philosophical contributions to politics are also introduced to the students. Purposely, this is to incorporate thinkers and thoughts that were earlier not imagined as part of the discipline.  These new thoughts, coupled with the historical and western thinking on issues such as human nature, the role and meaning of the state, human freedom and liberty have made political philosophy a diverse course that examines not only western ideas but also African oriented ones.  It thus becomes important that contending meanings attached to different ideas and theories by different thinkers get reviewed.
