Overview

This innovative new programme will give you a rigorous understanding of international relations and politics, and of conflict and security issues – globally and regionally across the world.

While placing international developments within historical context, it focuses particularly on recent and contemporary processes, trends and problems: examining efforts to respond to international and regional challenges in the spheres of policy and practice.

The programme combines in-depth academic training in key concepts, theories and case-studies, alongside a structured process of engagement with contemporary debates and experience by policy-makers, diplomats and practitioners. You will have opportunities to learn beyond the classroom through political simulation exercises, field trips and specialist workshops creating new bridges between academic and practical dimensions of the field.

This programme is delivered by the Division of Peace Studies and International Development, an internationally recognised centre for excellence in teaching, research, and policy engagement on International Relations, Peace, Conflict and Security issues.

English language requirements

The standard University requirement is IELTS 6.0 with no sub-test less than 5.0 (or equivalent). For Nigerian students, WAEC English with grades C6 and above are accepted.

How to apply

Students aren’t required to apply separately for the scholarship.  If you successfully enroll on the course, you will be awarded the respective scholarship.

Please note that students can only receive one scholarship or discount so students who are eligible for more than 1 award will be given the award of the highest value.
