This programme offers an advanced understanding of the contemporary world, developed in response to the enormous political challenges facing our changing societies.

The programme draws on insights from International Relations as well as:

  • European Studies
  • Comparative Politics
  • Political Science
  • Area Studies
You will explore in-depth key theories, issues and controversies, and will have the opportunity to pursue interdisciplinary studies and develop your interests in a vibrant and intellectually stimulating environment.

You will have access to the University’s Europa Institute established in 1968 to specialise in the law and politics of the European Union; its library is considered one of the best of its kind.

Finally, there is also a vibrant community of students interested in international and European Politics, so you will have plenty of opportunities to:

  • network with your peers
  • organise events
  • work on publications in the 'Leviathan' (the University’s own journal of Politics and International Relations).
If international travel restrictions allow, another highlight of the academic year will be our study trip to Brussels, where you will visit multiple international organisations as well as non-governmental stakeholders and meet with practitioners.

The trip includes our very popular career event at which you will have the opportunity to network with alumni of the University of Edinburgh (Edinburgh University Brussels Society) who have built successful careers in Brussels.
