Political Science and International Relations
The School of Politics and International Relations at Nottingham is one of the largest and most substantively diverse Schools of Politics and IR in the country, offering supervision across most of the discipline.
The School’s three dedicated Research Centres/Institutes provide a supportive, dynamic and intensive research environment for both MA and research students:
- Centre for the Research into Ideas and the Study of Political Ideologies (CRISPI)
- Research Centre for the Study of Parties and Democracy (REPRESENT)
- The Centre for the Study of Subversion, Unconventional Interventions and Terrorism (SUIT)
Applicants in Politics and International Relations interested in applying should contact Dr Ben Holland.
Please send Ben your CV, a one-page note on your preparation and motivation to conduct research to PhD level on a topic in Politics and International Relations using social science methods, and a one-page outline of your proposed research topic by Monday 16th December 2024. We can advise on your eligibility and the fit of your proposed research with our interests and expertise.
