Course Overview

Key benefits of studying for the MA/MRes in Politics and International Relations include; small class sizes, expert dissertation supervision on cutting-edge issues and debates, a dynamic academic community, strong student-staff relations, and stimulating extra-curricular seminars and workshops. Staff and students regularly organize research events, which provide important opportunities for learning, networking, and collegial debate on contemporary political and philosophical issues. For example, we host an annual Royal Institute of Philosophy lecture series, a bi-annual European Consortium on Political Research environmental politics Ph.D. summer school, and in recent years have organized several ESRC-funded (Economic and Social Research Council) seminar series. The School of Social, Political, and Global Studies is a multi-disciplinary school that brings together research-led academics to produce world-class research.
