Course summary

The MLitt in International Political Theory provides students with a dynamic and systematic understanding of how political theory can be brought to bear on international politics and world affairs. It is not a general international relations or international relations theory programme but a specialised programme in political thought.

Course information

The MLitt in International Political Theory is a one-year taught postgraduate programme run by the School of International Relations. The programme commences in September and ends the following August.

Highlights

  • Offers a uniquely deep focus on both the history of political thought and contemporary political theory.
  • Distinctive approach, different from that of traditional programmes in International Relations or International Relations Theories.
  • Ideal for further academic work leading to a PhD at St Andrews or elsewhere.
  • Prepares students for a wide range of professional fields including law, policy research and consultancy, NGOs, charities, international organisations, civil service and publishing.

Teaching format

The programme consists of four taught modules taken over two semesters and a 15,000-word dissertation in an area of your choice.

Modules are taught through a mixture of lectures, seminars and tutorials. Average lecture sizes range from 20 to 30 students, and tutorial sizes range from 1 to 15 students. Assessment methods include a combination of examination and coursework.

Every MLitt student is assigned a dissertation supervisor who will advise on the choice of subject and provide guidance throughout the research process.
