Postgraduate
Greetings from the School of Politics and International Relations at Queen Mary, a Russell Group institution. The School is based in the Mile End campus, a spacious environment situated just a short tube ride from the centre of London.
As one of our postgraduate students you will be studying in a dynamic and expanding research environment. Unlike many graduate programmes in London you will be taught personally by lecturers who have internationally recognised expertise in international relations, public policy, the politics of the developing world, economic globalisation, security studies, and critical theory. Our area expertise includes Europe, South America, Sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East and South-East Asia. You will learn as part of an internationally diverse community of students. And we shall support your academic development through a set of workshops on key skills such as research essay and dissertation writing. Situated in London, you will also have the benefit of attending special seminars and events that bring the policy making world into direct contact with the academic world. I warmly invite you to apply to our Masters or Research programmes and I look forward to hearing from you.
Dr Robbie Shilliam, Director of Postgraduate Taught Studies
