History
The Munich School of Political Science was founded on 14 July 1950. Based on a law of 27 October 1970, it is an independent institution affiliated with the Ludwig Maximilians University Munich. This makes the Munich School of Political Science the only university in Bavaria based on an own specific state law. All other non-private universities in Bavaria are subject to the Bavarian State Law on Higher Education (Bayerisches Hochschulgesetz). Though the HfP is an independent institution, its degrees are conferred by the Ludwig Maximilians University Munich. Since 16 February 1981, the HfP has the status of a statutory corporation under public law. Unlike most other German universities, the Munich School of Political Science has kept the traditional German Diplom and has not switched to the Bachelor and Master system according to the Bologna Process. On 1 January 2007, HfP was granted the right to confer doctorates and can thus confer the degree of “Doctor Scientarium Politicarum” (Dr.sc.pol.).

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“We are told that men protect us; that they are generous, even chivalric in their protection. Gentlemen, if your protectors were women, and they took all your property and your children, and paid you half as much for your work, though as well or better done than your own, would you think much of the chivalry which permitted you to sit in street-cars and picked up your pocket- handkerchief?”
—Mary B. Clay, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 3, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)
“A poet’s object is not to tell what actually happened but what could or would happen either probably or inevitably.... For this reason poetry is something more scientific and serious than history, because poetry tends to give general truths while history gives particular facts.”
—Aristotle (384–323 B.C.)
“All history becomes subjective; in other words there is properly no history, only biography.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
