Political Science and International Studies research
We are 9th in the UK for research power in Politics and International Studies (REF 2021).
Our research concentrates on the development of a vibrant and sustainable research culture, the publication of high-quality research, the targeting of external funding for our research and the development of a funded doctoral programme. We are a centre of excellence in political science, political economy, comparative politics, political theory, international studies (e.g. European, Eurasian and Asian politics), international relations theory and security and conflict. Our approach to research is inclusive and we welcome colleagues from across the university to join our research groups.
