• The School has an exceptionally strong research culture with a strong reputation for the quality of the research produced and the growing number of research grants it is attracting. We have particular strengths in international theory, the history of international thought, territorial politics and European and international security.
  • We are at the cutting-edge of our field, delivering unique, interdisciplinary research projects.
  • The combination of established researchers with international reputations and young scholars has meant that we have been able to develop a dynamic and forward-looking research ethos. Many of the materials we use for our courses are written by academics and teaching staff within the department.
