Applicant profile
We are looking for students who are passionate about global politics: this could mean you are simply keen to learn more about global relations, or you are concerned about major problems in global politics. Our students are inspired by critical thought and approaches, so you should be prepared to question and challenge a range of phenomena.
The skills you need include an ability to write and express yourself clearly, a desire to learn about topics and read as widely as possible in order to construct strong arguments, and an ability to be critical – and self-critical. You need to think abstractly, and at times, outside the box. You will develop your debating, writing, reasoning and argumentation skills in this course.
