How do I know if my educational background is appropriate for an MPhil/PhD International Relations?
MPhil/PhD International Relations applicants are normally required to have at least one of their degrees in a relevant social science subject. [back to top] 18. My undergraduate and Masters degrees are not in International Relations or politics, but I have several years of work experience, including research in the area I want to study. Can I apply for the MPhil/PhD programme? Relevant work experience can be an asset in undertaking a research degree. In almost all cases, however, previous academic training in subjects relevant to the area of research proposed will be necessary.
