Politics and Social Justice MSc

The MSc Politics and Social Justice programme offers a structured, research-led approach to understanding global politics and its relationship with social justice. The degree consists of five core 20-credit modules and one optional module, followed by a 60-credit dissertation that enables you to undertake an independent research project on a chosen topic.

Core modules include Policy Analysis and Practice, The State, Globalisation and Social Justice, Applied Research Methods in Social Sciences, Contemporary Social Issues, and Politics, Civil Society and Social Justice. These modules develop critical understanding of political systems, inequalities, governance, and the role of civil society in addressing global challenges.

You will also select an optional module based on your interests, allowing further specialisation. Teaching is delivered within an international context, with a strong emphasis on applying theory to real-world issues. The final dissertation provides the opportunity to explore a specific area in depth under academic supervision, preparing you for careers in policy, research, and international organisations.
