International Relations
The Department of Politics and International Relations is one of the world’s leading centres for graduate work and advanced research in International Relations (IR). Oxford brings together high-quality training in political science approaches with a commitment to the rigorous use of a plurality of methods and understanding. There are extensive opportunities for the study of the IR of different regions of the world, as well as all of the major academic IR sub-fields, including international political economy, security studies, intervention and state-building, institutions and governance, legal and normative questions. The global study of political ideas and of IR theory beyond the West is an expanding theme. There is a vibrant research community in which doctoral students play a central role. Visitors and visiting speakers regularly include many of the major names in the field.
