MA (Res) International Relations

International Relations is one of the most popular courses at postgraduate level. On this course you will be taught and supervised by experienced staff with strong interests in critical approaches to the study of global politics.

Course units on offer cover a wide range of global issues including: authority, citizenship, foreign policy (both China and US), gender, war and peace, global ethics, human rights, media, environmental politics, security studies, and terrorism.

Two course units form the centrepiece of our course: the Graduate Seminar in International Politics and Critical Thinkers in International Politics. These units are designed to develop transferable skills in critical inquiry, creative thinking, research design and problem-solving. You will also complete a major research dissertation, with the guidance of a member of staff in international politics.
