| Key features - A work placement is built into the course, where you will be given the opportunity to gain experience working in a politics-related job in a think-tank or in the campaigning, PR or research departments of an organisation.
- Guest speakers currently working as journalists, campaigners, policy officials, diplomats, etc. come in to talk to our students about what they do, how a particular issue develops and how people on the ground respond to it. Amongst others, we’ve welcomed Sauro Scarpelli from Amnesty International, who talked about international conflict and human rights; Charles Lonsdale from the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office; and Maria Beatriz Souviron-Crespo, Bolivia’s ambassador for the UK, and Jose Sagaz of Bolivia Solidarity Campaign, who explained the nature of the crisis in Bolivia. We’ve also heard from Colonel David Benest, speaking on the British Army and counterinsurgency; author Amrit Wilson on racism and community resistance; and Sarah Kennedy from the think-tank Demos, on internships in London.
| - Staff set aside a dedicated period each week for one-to-one meetings with students, where you can discuss lecture material, seminar discussions, assessments or any other concerns you may have.
- We offer a range of extra courses aimed at building skills in essay writing, how to construct an argument and how to read books more effectively.
- The dissertation counts for one third of the credits towards your final masters degree and gives you the opportunity to do your own independent research, applying what you have learnt in the taught modules. Students often find the transition to research both exciting and challenging. We provide a supportive environment of workshops with staff dedicated to helping you prepare your dissertation proposal, followed up with clear guidelines and hands-on supervision.

| From our alumni “I chose to study a masters in International Relations at Kingston University because of the variety of modules on offer and the flexibility of the part-time programme. Throughout my course I found the material [we] covered stimulating, and the knowledge and experience of the teaching staff impressive. Since completing my masters I have become both a PhD student and a lecturer at Kingston.” Peter Finn – International Relations graduate If you are interested in starting a full or part-time course this September why not come along to our postgraduate open evening on 16th July.
