The Masters in Politics offers students insights into the causes and consequences of a variety of different political phenomenon across the globe.
On the MA in Politics, students will explore key controversies in political science from a variety of different perspectives. Students will be introduced to the major concepts in political science and learn to apply those concepts and approaches to explain the variety of political phenomena across the globe. Students will learn through a blend of lectures, seminars and individual research.
The Politics MA examines central questions of political science related to power, the state and the sources of political change. It is designed for students who are either familiar with the study of political science and issues at undergraduate level or who are enthusiastic to focus on this area of study at the postgraduate level.
Students will take two core modules, Doing Political Research and Varieties of Politics that will provide them with a foundation for thinking about the subject. Students then design the rest of the programme around their own interests by selecting four modules from a wide range of options. The flexibility of this programme is ideal for those with a broad range of interests in politics or for those who want to construct a curriculum around a particular area of interest.
As a postgraduate student studying for a Masters in Politics, students will also have the opportunity to take part in a wide range of events. Students will be welcomed as a member of a variety of research groups, including those focused on British Politics, Asian Politics, Middle East Politics, European Studies, Political Economy, and Parties, Voters and Elections. These group includes members of academic staff and postgraduate research students who meet regularly to discuss their own research, recent publications and to organise research events including inviting visiting speakers.
