Enhance your research skills and learn about key techniques to draw in-depth insights in a politics and international studies context.
With a primary focus on in-depth methods and approaches to quantitative and qualitative research, you’ll gain the essential skills to progress your studies or become a working researcher in the fields of politics and international studies.
You’ll learn about key techniques used in the analysis of large-scale data and how to present key insights and findings in an actionable way.
Alongside this, you’ll learn about key issues in the fields of politics and international studies, such as:
human rights international justice global political economy international relations in the South and Central Asia region
Alongside developing your research skills, you will explore wide themes in politics and international studies through a variety of optional units.
This course is designed to provide high-quality training to potential doctoral students, as well as essential research skills that are desirable in a number of private and public sector roles.
This MRes is recognised by the Economic & Social Research Council (ESRC), specifically, as part of the larger South West Doctoral Training Partnership (SWDTP). It can be taken as a course in its own right, or if you hold an SWDTP studentship you can take the 1+3 (MRes + PhD) pathway.
If you wish to be considered for a 1+3 SWDTP studentship, then you must apply for your preferred PhD route and not the stand-alone MRes.
For those holding a 1+3 SWDTP studentship, progression from the MRes to the MPhil or PhD stage is dependent on an acceptable level of achievement.
You should have a bachelor’s honours degree or international equivalent, typically a 2:1 or above.
To apply for this course you should have an undergraduate degree in European studies, international relations, modern languages, politics, history, economics or sociology.
We may make an offer based on a lower grade if you can provide evidence of your suitability for the degree.
