Course summary

Political science is a discipline with fast moving frontiers and a wide range of increasingly sophisticated theoretical and methodological approaches. UCL's PhD programme in political science is one of the most competitive in Europe. Working as part of a tight-knit cohort, you’ll receive extensive training and mentorship from UCL’s academics, to get you ready for senior roles in academia, international organisations, the private or third sector, and government.
