Programme specification
The MSc in Political Science is designed to equip you with the knowledge and practical skills needed to become a confident researcher, capable of taking leadership over societal responses to political and social challenges – whether that be working in governments, global institutions, NGOs, or in the media.
The programme will provide you with the intellectual resources needed to understand and respond to the phenomena that give rise to the current local, national, and global political challenges that we face. It will also develop your ability to investigate and uncover the underlying social and political dynamics that have led to the formation of these political challenges and potentially, the key to their resolution.
The programme will also prepare you for future doctoral study, should you be interested in taking your research interests to the next level.
