Postgraduate research
The School of Sociology, Politics and International Studies is an inherently interdisciplinary scholarly environment that advances theory, knowledge and methods at the interface between the disciplines of sociology, politics and international studies.
Our research is often international in its focus and relevant to our changing and increasingly interconnected world. We are committed to rigorous conceptual and empirical research that is politically and socially relevant and problem oriented.
Our aim is not just to monitor the global condition but to contribute to advancing ways that might improve it, and our research has had far-reaching impact on policymakers, political actors, grass-roots organisations and public audiences locally, nationally and internationally.
The school offers the following postgraduate research programmes:
- Sociology (PhD)
- Politics (PhD)
- East Asian Studies (PhD)
- Global Challenges and Transformations (PhD)
- Sociotechnical Futures and Digital Methods (PhD)
