This programme will help you develop critical skills beyond Eurocentric views of international politics. You’ll learn to engage with different perspectives, questioning the boundaries between politics, culture, ecology, religion and the economy.
As you delve into current global issues, you will explore the emergence of new geopolitical powers in the Global South, the widening gap between the rich and the poor, the afterlives of neoliberalism, the influence of feminism in shaping politics, initiatives to revive democracy in the face of populism, the significance of human rights and memory in establishing a fair international system, and the pressing need for sustainable development amid ecological devastation.
Applicants should hold a minimum of a second-class Bachelor’s degree from a UK or overseas institution of equal standing. Individuals from any academic background are welcome to apply, though those with degrees in social sciences or humanities (e.g., politics, economics, sociology, anthropology, social work, history, cultural studies, visual cultures, or journalism) may have an advantage.
However, we may also consider applicants without a relevant academic background if they have professional experience in the field or can demonstrate their ability to succeed at this level of study.
