The Graduate School of Political Science and International Studies (POLSIS) offers a wide range of professionally orientated courses. You may opt for a general multidisciplinary approach or choose from a range of more specialised programmes with a more specific career orientation.
We arrange study visits to NATO and the EU in Brussels, and we have an extensive programme of visiting speakers involving British and overseas academics, diplomats and other professionals.
This programme is for students who want an advanced knowledge of the main issues, problems and actors in the diverse region of East Asia today, or who wish to expand their knowledge of a dynamic and rapidly changing key economic region of the world, or to pursue any area of professional life in, or linked to, East Asia. A prior knowledge of the region is not necessary.
