International Political Sociology (IPS) is an interdisciplinary field that combines international relations with disciplines such as sociology, geography, law, history, and anthropology. Its main objective is to promote innovative thinking in the understanding of political and social practices in order to create new opportunities for coexistence in a world dominated by crises and persistent accounts of major disasters. In today’s world, it is becoming increasingly evident that everything is closely linked, including humans, animals, plants, geological and atmospheric processes. The movement of people is challenging borders, and it's hard to separate the local and global. Digital technologies are rapidly altering various aspects of life, from the use of artificial intelligence in the workplace to warfare and security. Traditional distinctions between human and nature, state and society, international and national, and technology and human agency are no longer adequate to handle this complex and interconnected world. This MA programme responds to these challenges by adopting a problem-driven approach to world politics that transcends established disciplinary boundaries. It pioneers a training in International Political Sociology, a transdisciplinary approach that spans academic fields like International Relations, Political Science, Sociology, Law and History, and extends its reach to non-academic spaces such as think-tanks, NGOs, social movements, and policy units.
Students need a 2:1 or above at undergraduate level in a relevant Social Science or Humanities discipline (for example Politics, Sociology, International Relations, Human Geography, History, Anthropology, Philosophy, Law, Literature).
