Department of Politics unveils new Postgraduate MA
September 2020 will see the first student intake on to the innovative Contemporary Europe programme.
The new Contemporary Europe MA will launch in the autumn of 2020, proving an exciting time for the Department of Politics. This multi-disciplinary master’s programme explores how Europe has been shaped since the late 19th Century. The department is aptly suited to hosting such an MA due to being the home of the Europe and the Worlds Centre, a research centre that explores ways in which Europe is refashioned through internal developments and the outside world. Professor Erika Harris who teaches on the MA describes the master’s:
The MA aims to equip you with a wide range of skills, combining significant elements of political science, political economy and theory with broader cultural and sociological themes; thus, enabling you to develop skills for deeper understanding and study into the complexity and diversity of European culture and politics.
The MA offers a desirable amount of flexibility. Whilst the MA includes mandatory modules specialising on crucial subjects for the programme, the course allows students to choose some optional modules from a vast array of topics, ensuring students can cater their programme to their interests and future aspirations. Dr Sean Haughey states:
Beyond this [the mandatory modules], students have complete control over the direction of their studies. A wide range of optional modules cover subjects including international dispute resolution, peace processes, international intervention, media and human rights, modern slavery, social exclusion, policing, and international protection of human rights.
