The Graduate School - A Masters Perspective

The Department of International Politics offers an extensive range of taught Masters degree schemes as part of its renowned Graduate School and it has decades of experience in producing generations of outstanding postgraduate students. All Masters modules are taught by full-time members of staff in small seminar groups and the quality of their teaching has been judged by the Higher Education Funding Council of the United Kingdom to be 'Excellent'. The Department's Graduate School provides an unrivalled learning experience and an immensely rewarding place in which to undertake taught postgraduate study.

The Masters programme emphasises the development of strong writing and analytical skills as well as the capacity to work independently—that is, qualities on which employers place a premium.  The programme is also ideal for students who want to pursue PhD research on completion of the Masters degree.  Each year a several students use their Aberystwyth Masters degree as a stepping stone toward entry into the Department’s PhD programme, which is one of the most successful of its kind anywhere.
