About the Programme
The School of Politics and International Studies is at the forefront of interdisciplinary research into international development, international relations and political studies. We have area expertise in Africa, North America, Asia, the UK, Europe and the Middle East.
Our intellectual focus is on the politics of global challenges: the inherently political processes through which global challenges are created, understood, and mediated by the exercise and contestation of power in its various forms. It is through this lens that the School of Politics and International Studies and our research centres pursue our respective research agendas.
We believe research in this area is crucial to the ongoing process of rethinking how governments respond to the human and international security challenges posed by globalisation and its consequences.
Our research is organised around the following themes:
- Democratic Engagement
- Global Development
- Responsibility to Protect
- Global Security Challenges
- Contemporary Political Theory
- Teaching, Innovation and Scholarship
We offer the following postgraduate research degrees:
- PhD
- MA by research
