The MSc Political Science is a wide-ranging programme combining subject-specific study and rigorous methodological training.
The Political Behaviour stream offers the opportunity to examine how citizens see the political world and form opinions about it, and how their political behaviour is shaped by those opinions, their social identities, and the actions of politicians. It offers courses that focus on voting behaviour, public opinion, social identities (e.g., gender, ethnicity, and class), political parties, electoral politics, other forms of political engagement, and intergroup relations. It explores these topics across the globe through a combination of general thematic and more regionally focused courses (e.g., focused on Europe, North America, Latin America, and other parts of the Global South).
This programme will be a good preparation for a career in international organisations, government, public policy, political consultancy, security agencies, finance, the media and NGOs, as well as providing an excellent foundation for further research including PhD programmes.
