政治学 Politics

The MA in Politics at Queen's University Belfast provides advanced training in political analysis with a strong emphasis on democratic challenges and innovations, research design, and comparative politics. Core modules explore contemporary challenges facing democratic political systems, citizen participation and democratic innovations such as participatory budgeting and deliberative mini-publics. Students benefit from Belfast's unique position as a post-conflict setting, with optional modules covering Northern Irish politics and broader themes in international politics. The programme develops critical reasoning, analytical skills and the ability to engage with both academic research and democratic practice.
