Collaborate with academics who have personal experience of public policy, government departments and international organisations (including NATO), or working as advisers to government (including in the UK, the US, France, Italy and Germany).

We are a lively and dynamic research-led department with particular strengths in political theory, strategic/conflict studies, public policy and comparative government. Overall, 80% of our research impact was judged to be world leading or internationally excellent in the latest Research Excellence Framework (REF 2014 – Politics and International Studies). We are proud to be the academic home of the Leverhulme Trust Climate Justice Programme, the Ways of War Centre, and the British Army Higher Education Pathway.

As a graduate student in the Department of Politics and International Relations, you will be studying with academics who have personal experience of public policy, government departments and international organisations. You will also have access to the staff seminar and to the intellectual expertise of scholars in neighbouring departments such as History, Economics, Philosophy, and Law. We offer small-group teaching and you will have the opportunity to engage with our programme of visiting speakers from across the discipline.
