Programme Description
These are interesting times for international politics. The rise of religious fundamentalism, terrorism, regional ethnic conflicts, environmental degradation and biosecurity concerns, oil and other resource conflicts, poverty and deprivation, globalization and financial crises, the changing dynamics of international power relations, the future of democracy and the capacity of the international system (and international law) to address these problems, all present enormous challenges to analysts, governments and other decision-makers. These challenges have produced a recent surge of academic interest in this area.
The MA in International Politics develops critical perspectives on contemporary theory and practice in international politics, and enables students to understand and evaluate contemporary issues. It also develops key analytical skills associated with thinking, speaking and writing clearly and critically about contemporary international issues, and provides a firm foundation for doctoral study.
The programme will appeal to those who have a broad interest in international affairs, including those whose future employment is likely to involve the public, private and/or non-governmental sphere in an international context. It is relevant to careers in international politics and diplomacy, journalism and the mass media, multi-national business and general management, along with the public sector (including education) and Civil Service. It will also appeal to those wishing to prepare for a research degree in international politics.
