Applications for the MA programme in International Political Sociology, Queen Mary University of London

We are now accepting applications for the Master’s programme in International Political Sociology at the Department of Sociology, Politics and International Relations, Queen Mary University of London.

The MA in International Political Sociology pioneers a problem-driven approach to world politics that transcends established disciplinary boundaries. In today’s world, it is increasingly clear that everything is closely connected, including humans, animals, plants and geological and atmospheric processes. The movement of people challenges borders, making it difficult to distinguish the local from the global, while digital technologies are swiftly transforming many facets of life, from the integration of artificial intelligence in the workplace to applications in warfare and security. Traditional distinctions between human and nature, state and society, international and national, technology and human agency, are no longer adequate to handle this complex and interconnected world.

The MA programme responds to these challenges by offering training in International Political Sociology, a transdisciplinary approach that works across academic fields such as International Relations, Political Science, Sociology, Law, History and Geography, while also extending its reach to non-academic spaces, such as think tanks, NGOs, social movements, and policy units. The programme’s unique and inspiring focus is on training new knowledge creators who can confidently navigate across disciplines and institutional boundaries to tackle today's major challenges in innovative ways.
