Master of Arts in Politics

The MA in Politics program offers a thorough and specialised study of contemporary politics, focusing on the critical analysis of current crises and structural transformations. This course is particularly relevant in the context of recent global challenges, such as the pandemic and ongoing conflicts, emphasising the need for a deep understanding of the global bio-political economy. Structured around the interconnection of politics and sociology, the program provides a timely approach to political studies. Students will explore key topics like globalisation, colonialism, nationalism, and the influence of market dynamics on political systems. The course also delves into issues of race, religion, justice, freedom, health, rights, and equality, encouraging the development and critique of theories in light of global shifts. The program is designed to equip students with the skills to critically evaluate political issues, assess leadership and institutions, and propose solutions to international problems. By the end of the course, students will gain a comprehensive insight into the transformations affecting economies, nations, and religious practices, preparing them for a nuanced understanding and engagement with the modern political landscape.
