International Business and Politics MRes

This International Business and Politics MRes is in an approved pathway for ESRC funding. You will be able to apply for ESRC 1+3 funding to cover both this MRes and a PhD.

This engaging programme provides an advanced theoretical grounding in the history, politics and core aspects of business. You will choose from a broad range of modules to supplement your own research, offered in conjunction with the School's International Business and Politics MSc. You could focus on social and political marketing, environmental change, international relations in the Middle East, and other varied aspects of business and politics. This array of subjects will prepare you for a career in multinational business, or for a PhD.

You will also cover core modules in research design, qualitative and quantitative methods. You will expand your professional network, as you share these modules with students from King’s College London and Imperial College London, as part of the training offered by the London Interdisciplinary Social Science Doctoral Training Partnership (LISS-DTP).

This course is ideal if you want to go on to further doctoral research training through the LISS DTP Programme. You can also use it as a springboard for progression into management positions.
