PhD International Relations

The School of Social and Political Sciences aims to combine high quality teaching and learning with high quality research. We provide a friendly and supportive environment and a great deal of our work features the characteristic hallmark of co-operation and interdisciplinarity. The School of Social and Political Sciences benefits from an active research base ensuring that staff are involved in current debates and that you are made aware of relevant developments and issues. Each research student is supported by a programme of research training and will be expected to identify an original area of academically relevant research and agree an approved programme of research with the tutor. Current students’ areas of research include Sino-Zambian relations, preventive diplomacy and peacekeeping.
