Overview
The International Political Sociology programme at Queen Mary University of London is primarily aimed at providing advanced skills training and knowledge preparing students for jobs aimed at individual and collaborative knowledge creation in academic institutions, think tanks, NGOs, and civil service among others.
International Political Sociology (IPS) is an interdisciplinary field that combines international relations with disciplines such as sociology, geography, law, history, and anthropology.
Its main objective is to promote innovative thinking in the understanding of political and social practices in order to create new opportunities for coexistence in a world dominated by crises and persistent accounts of major disasters.
Key Features
In today’s world, it is becoming increasingly evident that everything is closely linked, including humans, animals, plants, geological and atmospheric processes. The movement of people is challenging borders, and it's hard to separate the local and global. Digital technologies are rapidly altering various aspects of life, from the use of artificial intelligence in the workplace to warfare and security.
Traditional distinctions between human and nature, state and society, international and national, and technology and human agency are no longer adequate to handle this complex and interconnected world.
It pioneers a training in International Political Sociology, a transdisciplinary approach that spans academic fields like International Relations, Political Science, Sociology, Law and History, and extends its reach to non-academic spaces such as think-tanks, NGOs, social movements, and policy units.
Career paths
However, both the subject specific knowledge and transferable skills prepare students for a wide range of employment opportunities, including careers in the civil service, journalism, social work, local , national and international governance and third-sector organisations.
