agree Adrian MM. : Politikwissenschaft (auch Politische Wissenschaft, Wissenschaft von der Politik, Wissenschaftliche Politik oder Politologie) de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politikwissenschaft

agree Justin Reeve : Supposing that a field, major, or subject of study is being indicated, this would probably be the term to use. Supposing that it's a course title, probably not, though.

evidence-based policymaking

Compare with this:
"Congress took another step toward improving the availability of evidence for important policy decisions by passing the Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act of 2018. The legislation follows two years of growing support for evidence-based policymaking in the federal government." https://bipartisanpolicy.org/blog/congress-provides-new-foun...

"In der Praxis steht jedoch die politikgetriebene Schaffung von Evidenz („policy-oriented evidence making“) der unabhängigen Bereitstellung von Evidenz („evidence-based policy making“) gegenüber." http://ftp.iza.org/sp74.pdf

Policy-oriented evidence making" sounds to me like a term that may have been coined by German scholars. But evidence-based policymaking is an established term.
Peer comment(s):

disagree Wolfram Weinberg, PhD : in order to not overthink it

"In order to not" is bad English. And if "Political Science" were an acceptable translation of "Wissenschaftliche Politik", we'd have to conclude that "political science" can be translated as "Wissenschaftliche Politik" in German. That sounds outlandish.
