MSc Politics

... United Kingdom
... University of Strathclyde

Course Overview

If you're looking for work in the public sector, the third sector or with non-governmental organisations, our MSc in Politics is the course for you. It's also excellent preparation for PhD work in politics or the social sciences.

The School of Government & Public Policy has several research centres related to the topics and course content. For example, the European Policies Research Centre is a leading hub for studying regional development policy and collecting such data in Europe. This centre is of increasing importance in the wake of Brexit. 

Specialised policy centres focused on health and energy – such as the Centre for Energy Policy – also add to the applied policy environment at Strathclyde. The Institute for Future Cities' City Observatory in Strathclyde’s award-winning Technology & Innovation Centre uses data to understand and address urban problems. The University has many centres and institutes with projects incorporating European governance and political issues, such as the Fraser of Allander Institute.
