About the Programme

Take on global challenges in the 21st century – interpret events, identify trends and make informed judgments about the future. Engage with world politics, global environmental change, terrorism, governance in cyberspace, and conflict resolution with insight and clarity.

We have a longstanding international reputation for research excellence across the fields of comparative politics, international relations, peace and conflict studies, and political thought.
