About

Research contemporary global challenges connected to geopolitics, economic and social inequalities, and mobilities within and across borders.

This course is well-suited to those interested in analysing the diverse experiences and impacts of current global challenges from an interdisciplinary perspective. You will develop a systematic understanding and critical appreciation of research in social and political enquiry and the way they can be applied for investigating contemporary global challenges connected to geopolitics, economic and social inequalities, and mobilities within and across borders in an interdisciplinary way.

Requirements

Entry Requirements

At least a 2:1 degree in a social science subject (or)

An equivalent degree in another subject, together with substantial relevant work experience

Underlying these conditions is a belief that students must bring a minimum combination of theoretical knowledge and practical experience to the programme. Marginal cases are often dealt with at interview, and it is not uncommon for relatively inexperienced students to be asked to defer entry.
