Politics and International Relations
Politics impact everything we do, and digital technology is increasingly altering how we communicate, provide services and create policies. Go behind the headlines to the real causes and effects of today's issues with us.
Introduction
Our department offers a range of programmes for those who want to take a deep dive into the impact that politics, policies and technology have on society today.
The internet has transformed political behaviour, from voting and campaigning, to protest and revolution. MA International Relations and Global Communications focuses on fake news, digital diplomacy, hashtag activism, tweeting politicians and other developments that shape politics and international relations.
Study MSc Digital Society and you’ll learn about the theories and practices of digital politics and media, as well as an in-depth exploration of digital politics around the world. This course offers the choice to specialise in Digital Politics or Digital Sociology, allowing you to tailor your studies to your interests.

My area of research is highly relevant to PGT study, particularly in digital media-related programmed like MSc Digital Society, covering topics related to media studies, digital culture, and communication.
My intention for my masters was to find further study that both challenged me and enhanced my career.
