International Relations / Sociology (SocSci), MA (Hons)

International Relations examines the interactions between states and national societies across borders, focusing on political, military, economic, and cultural dimensions. At Glasgow, we have built a strong reputation for research and teaching in this field, with particular strengths in global security, conflict resolution, and regional studies covering Russia, Central and Eastern Europe, Latin America, China, and the Middle East. Students will acquire a deep understanding of international relations and its connections to politics, guided by expert academics.Sociology investigates how individuals organize their collective lives, the constraints they encounter, patterns of social behavior, and the causes and impacts of social inequalities. A standout feature of our Sociology program, praised by external examiners and graduates, is the integration of sociological, criminological, and anthropological perspectives.
