Overview

Working as part of a tight-knit cohort, you’ll receive intensive teaching and mentorship from our academic staff to help you address critical national and global issues, getting you ready for senior roles in academia, international organisations, the private or third sector, and government.

Key Facts

The department welcomes research in all the major sub-fields of political science. This includes international relations, comparative politics, political economy, public policy and management, and legal and political theory.

The MPhil/PhD is designed as an integrated sequence that trains you in key theoretical, methodological and practical approaches to conducting research. Most of our students take four years in total to complete their PhD, although it is possible to finish in three.

The aim of the course is to write an original thesis that pushes the boundaries of political science. All students have a three-person supervisory team, providing a breadth of inputs from different sub-disciplines and methodological approaches.
