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. Politics and Law are home to the Wales Governance Centre and have close connections with the National Assembly for Wales.
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.
Areas of special strength include
- International Relations,
- British, Welsh and devolutionary politics,
- European and comparative politics
- Political Theory.
