MSc Political Research

The course explores different methodological approaches and their application to real-life political problems. It will equip you with key transferable skills in:
research design
a range of research methods and their application
the management of different types of data

You'll undertake compulsory classes covering research design and evaluation methods and choose two optional classes. You’ll also complete a dissertation.

You may apply to do a client-based project as part of your dissertation research. Following a career workshop session, and on the advice of the School, you can contact host organisations including local, city, and national governmental organisations to arrange a work-based MSc dissertation.
