Research Postgraduates
We offer three kinds of research degree for postgraduate students.
Here at the School of Politics and International Studies (POLIS), we find our students decide to pursue a research degree for many different reasons.
Some want to research a subject relevant to their profession, or change their career direction. Others progress from MA programmes, or simply wish to study a topic of interest.
Age is never a barrier.
