This MSc provides ESRC-approved research training in politics and international relations. We aim to provide a thorough grounding in practical methodological skills through hands-on experience and the critical exploration of relevant examples and case studies. The Department of Politics promotes a closely-knit student community with easy access to members of staff who all give teaching and supervision a high priority while maintaining high-quality, high-volume research.
The Department of Politics, Department of Sociology and Centre for East Asian Studies recently merged to create a new School within the Faculty of Social Sciences and Law.
