The MPhil in Politics (European Politics and Society) is an advanced graduate degree which provides training in research techniques and methodology and enables you to acquire substantive knowledge in this sub-area of the discipline. It is also suitable if you later wish to embark upon doctoral research.
The MPhil is taught by a group of scholars who specialise in all aspects of European politics, including European integration, comparative European government, Europe’s external relations and the political systems of individual European countries.
The course will provide you with training and skills suitable for a wide range of careers, including academic, professional, commercial, diplomatic and governmental positions.
Progression to the second year is conditional on passing examinations and/or coursework in research methods as well as the core course.
At the end of the course, you will complete two option papers of your choice assessed by examination or coursework and submit a thesis.
As a minimum, applicants should hold or be predicted to achieve the following UK qualifications or their equivalent:
However, each application will be assessed upon its own merits, therefore candidates with a degree in an unrelated discipline are welcome to demonstrate the relevance of their academic background to their proposed subject or topic of study.
Entrance is very competitive and most successful applicants have a first-class degree or the equivalent.
For applicants with a bachelor's degree from the USA, the minimum overall GPA that is normally required to meet the undergraduate-level requirement is 3.6 out of 4.0.
