Politics and International Relations at Leicester The PhD by distance learning is designed to offer an additional mode of study to those who seek a PhD but would find it difficult to fulfil the requirements of full or part-time study on-campus. Successful applicants for this programme will require a good quality research proposal as a key condition of entry, as well as meeting the usual University and departmental requirements. They will be assigned supervision from the relevant department. All distance learning PhD candidates, regardless of department, will initially undertake a structured programme of research training over the course of 12 months. The research training will consist of four mandatory modules, delivered through a combination of module books and interactive tasks, readings and discussion on the University’s Blackboard virtual learning environment. Following the completion of the research training, you will begin to focus solely on your proposed theses, with supervisory support provided by telephone or electronically. If you are interested in applying for a PhD in Politics and International Relations , please contact Dr Tara McCormack with a research proposal. Browse our PhD guidelines for producing a proposal.

The Department of Political Science and International Studies (POLSIS) offers a vibrant and inclusive research culture. POLSIS has established itself as a centre of excellence in political science, political economy, comparative politics, political theory, international, international relations theory and security and conflict. Our research is concentrated around various research groups and research clusters which carry out a series of collaborative research activities. Our distance learning PhD in Political Science and International Studies offers the opportunity to conduct original research under the guidance of academic supervisors, leading to an 80,000 word thesis, for those unable to live and work on campus on a regular basis. You will take a number of research training modules in your first year and may attend further courses offered by the Department or the University that enhance your personal discipline-specific and transferable skills. Distance learning does present challenges and applicants need to have a high capacity to work independently and in a disciplined fashion to pursue their research goals. However, supervisory teams are there to support students in acquiring the skills and knowledge to complete a thesis. In addition, you will be able to participate in an active research environment through a range of online and hybrid events. Distance learning students are usually expected to attend one-week visit to the University (it is possible to request an exemption due to extenuating circumstances such as work commitments of caring responsibilities, for example). This visit will take place at the start of your studies during the College’s induction week (which usually takes place in the last week of September). This is a fantastic opportunity to attend a range of training sessions and networking events and meet your peers and supervisory team in person. The College of Social Sciences will make a generous contribution to your accommodation and travel. Your School will write to you to confirm the arrangements of your visit once you have confirmed your offer. Distance Learning students are not required to attend the University for the remainder of their studies but are welcome to visit at their own expense. POLSIS is part of the School of Government, one of the leading UK and international centres for governance, politics, international development, and public management. As one of the largest Schools of Government, in the United Kingdom, it is home to more than 80 full-time academic staff, more than 1,200 undergraduate and taught postgraduate students, and more than 70 doctoral researchers. The School of Government offers much more than a degree. As a doctoral student here, you have the opportunity to take part in a wide range of research events with staff and other doctoral students, including a PGR Colloquium and departmental speaker series. In addition, an individual training plan is drawn up to meet the needs of each student, covering coursework and skills development. As such, completing this research degree will cultivate specialist knowledge in your field and professional skills for a range of career settings. We are able to supervise a wide range of topics, in line with the research interests of our staff. We are particularly interested in receiving applications on themes that fit with our research groups: - Asian Politics
- British Politics
- European Studies
- Gender and Feminist Theory
- International Relations and Security Theory
- Parties, Voters and Elections
- Political Economy
- Political Theory
Applications to study for a research degree on either a full- or part-time basis are welcomed. Further information- POLSIS Doctoral research page

It provides an important opportunity to present progress on your research and to have a wider discussion about your work. Your supervisor will read and comment on drafts of your thesis before it is finally submitted. An external and an internal examiner (who will not be your supervisor) will then examine it, and will meet with you for a viva. They will judge whether your thesis demonstrates: - Knowledge of the relevant academic literature
- Skill in use of research methods
- Independent investigation
- Clear presentation of information
- Arguments presented in a coherent and appropriate form

How to Get a PhD in International RelationsWhen you study international relations at the doctoral level, the world can be your oyster. As the highest academic distinction in the field, the international relations PhD prepares you for a wide variety of roles in the public, private, and non-profit sectors. Also known as international affairs, international relations emerged as a distinct field of study in the first half of the twentieth century. It focuses on how countries, governments, leaders, and international organizations interact with one another, along with how their interactions shape our global system. Some international relations specialists work in academia, while others play important roles in the public, private, and non-profit sectors. The first step on the path to a successful experience as a PhD candidate in international relations is weighing your options and understanding the application process. This guide is designed to help you do just that. Step 1: Know Your OptionsCareer paths in international relations. What do you want to do with your PhD in Law and criminal justice with a specialization in international relations? It’s not essential to know the exact answer before you start your doctorate program, but you should begin thinking about it as early in the game as possible. That way, you can take your career goals and areas of interest into account while evaluating potential schools. A PhD in international relations or a similar discipline is essentially a prerequisite for teaching courses in these subjects at the undergraduate and graduate levels. In addition to academia, a doctorate degree in international relations offers numerous job opportunities for graduates. Careers in the U.S. government:- The U.S. Foreign Service
- The U.S. State Department
- Intelligence
- The Agency for International Development and other government agencies
Careers in the public sector:- The United Nations
- Other intergovernmental organizations (IGOs)
- Trade policy
Careers in the private sector:- Multinational corporations
- Consulting firms
- Lobbying and political analysis
Careers in the non-profit sector:- Humanitarian relief
- Conflict resolution
- Public health
- International development
Ways to Complete Your DegreeSome universities, whether online or on-campus, have a distinct school of international relations and diplomacy that offers a PhD degree in international relations. At other institutions, the government or political science department confers doctoral degrees in international relations. Another category of schools only offers a master’s degree in international relations. Graduates of these programs who wish to pursue a PhD must apply elsewhere in order to continue; typically, they can advance to the PhD phase more quickly than students entering without a master’s degree. Another category of graduate degrees in international relations has taken shape in recent years. Some online education programs, also known as distance learning programs, now grant degrees in the field, including an online PhD in international relations. Many other schools offer an online master’s program in international relations. As a result, you may choose to complete all or part of your coursework online. For example, some students obtain an online master’s degree in international relations, expediting the PhD process. These questions may come in handy as you consider the various possibilities: - Would you be willing to relocate for your PhD in international relations ? If the answer is no, you’re limited to schools within commuting distance. Online PhD programs can widen your range of options, and you can always use those credits toward a degree at another institution if moving becomes possible down the line.
- H ow much time can you devote to your degree? Some campus programs require a year or more of full-time study. With an online PhD in international relations, you can study on your own time, arranging your schedule around any existing work or family responsibilities.
- What kind of learner are you? The freedom to learn on your own time and from the comfort of your own home is convenient, but it doesn’t work for everyone. If you enjoy working independently and don’t need a classroom to stay focused, you’ll thrive in an online learning environment. If you enjoy interacting with faculty and students face-to-face, an on campus doctoral program may be a good fit.
Step 2: Research Potential Doctorate ProgramsThe Internet can be overwhelming, especially when it comes to researching doctoral degree programs. Avoid information overload by starting with some basic resources, including the following. Online DirectoriesWeb sites such as WorldWideLearn.com feature searchable listings of programs offering a campus-based or online PhD in international relations. You can find accredited programs by location or subject, and you can also request information from specific schools quickly and easily by filling out a convenient form. The site is packed with tips and advice to guide you through your search and the application process. Scholarly and Professional Organizations- The International Studies Association (ISA ) promotes research and education in international affairs. It holds conventions and conferences throughout the year, publishes five professional journals, and has nongovernmental consultative status with the United Nations. Its membership consists of students, educators, researchers, professionals, and institutions.
- The Foreign Policy Association is a U.S.-based non-profit organization that aims to raise public awareness of international relations and foreign policy issues. Its Web site features job postings and a list of the top-ranked international relations and public policy graduate programs.
- The American Foreign Service Association (AFSA) is the professional association of the United States Foreign Service and represents active and retired Foreign Service employees.
School Web SitesThe Web site of each school’s international relations, political science, or government department can be your first stop for learning about course offerings, degree requirements, admissions criteria, and much more. Take the time to browse around, and you may unearth a treasure trove of useful information. For example, try visiting the individual Web pages of each faculty member and current PhD candidate; many contain biographies, contact information, and links to published articles or books. Some courses have their own pages as well, featuring materials such as reading lists, syllabi, discussion forums, and lecture notes. Your School or Alma MaterWhether you are finishing up a master’s program or have completed your bachelor’s degree several years ago, investigate the resources your current or former school has to offer. Most colleges and universities provide counseling to students and alumni on professional development and graduate studies. Many have resource centers crammed with graduate school guides, brochures from specific programs, and networking databases. Step 3: Narrow Down Your PhD Program ListAfter you’ve surveyed the field, try to pinpoint the international relations PhD programs that best suit your academic interests and career goals. Keep the following factors foremost in your mind as you methodically pare down your list. Strong relationships between PhD students and their instructors are essential, far more than at the undergraduate level. As a candidate for a PhD in international relations, you can expect to spend a substantial amount of time with your advisor or team of advisors, particularly once you reach the dissertation phase. Before you commit several years of your life to a school and its faculty, get a preview of what you’re signing up for. Most international relations schools and departments let prospective students sit in on a graduate seminar or lecture. You should also feel free to contact potential advisors via e-mail before and during the application process. Graduate students in international relations PhD programs receive funding from a range of sources, including stipends, federal loans, teaching fellowships, and scholarships. Departments put together funding packages for each prospective student, but you won’t know the details until you get accepted. However, you can ask the admissions office for basic information, such as how many years each program usually guarantees funding for PhD candidates in international relations. WorldWideLearn.com has extensive information about scholarships, loans, and other forms of financial aid. These links to funding for international relations study are also worth checking out: - Public Policy and International Affairs (PPIA) Fellowship Program
- The Institute for International Public Policy
- The National Endowment for Democracy Funding Database
- The U.S. Department of State
You should be aware of how the schools on your short list stack up, but keep in mind that the individual fit is often more important than prestige. Take a look at U.S. News & World Report , which has a category for top international politics programs at the graduate level. Foreign Policy magazine also regularly surveys international relations faculty at U.S. colleges and universities, publishing its own rankings of programs offering undergraduate, master’s, and PhD degrees in international relations. Other ConsiderationsThe bottom line is that you should be vocal about what you’re looking for. Don’t be too shy to reach out to current graduate students at each program that interests you; you can often find their contact information online. You may also want to consider these questions: - What classes are offered that count toward the PhD in international relations?
- How long do students usually take to complete the PhD program?
- How many students are enrolled in the program?
- Where do recent graduates find jobs?
- Are experts in your sub-field on hand to serve as advisors?
- How many PhD students does each advisor work with?
- What’s special about the program?
- Will you be required to teach undergraduate courses?
- Is the department known for taking a particular political stance, and what is it?
- Does the school offer night classes, online courses, or online PhD programs?
Step 4: Apply to Become a Doctoral StudentWhen you’re down to a handful of universities, the time has come to start applying. Though the process and requirements vary from school to school, the following steps are the bare minimum. Get the Right CredentialsIf you don’t already have a master’s degree in international relations from a campus-based or online program, you need a bachelor’s degree from an accredited four-year college in order to apply for a PhD in international relations. While it doesn’t have to be in international relations, your college major should be relevant to the field. Make ContactsGet in touch with potential advisors at each school before you submit your application. E-mail professors who share your interests and area of specialization to let them know you plan to apply. Avoid the form letter trap by mentioning how much you enjoyed the professor’s latest article in a scholarly journal such as the Journal of International Affairs or the International Studies Quarterly , or the paper he or she presented at an academic conference you attended. Take Standardized TestsTo apply to get your PhD in international relations, you need to take the GRE (Graduate Record Examination) and submit your scores. International students must demonstrate their proficiency in the English language by passing the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language). Ask for Recommendation LettersMost schools require three letters of recommendation from former or current teachers who know you and your work. Ideally, your recommenders should teach courses on international relations or be members of the government or political science faculty. It’s always smart to provide each one with a copy of your academic resume and one or two papers you’re particularly proud of, not necessarily from that professor’s course. Submit a Stellar Writing SampleIf you already have a master’s degree in international relations, you can submit a writing sample of several chapters from your master’s thesis or a paper you submitted to an academic journal. Otherwise, choose one substantial essay or several smaller papers you wrote for a course in or related to your desired area of specialization. Take some time to reread your sample, and make any necessary edits or updates. Get Some Real-World ExperienceThe strongest applicants to PhD programs in international relations have experience working in the field, either as full-time professionals or as interns. If you don’t have a bona fide job or internship under your belt, highlight past study abroad and travel in your application. If you’re interested in getting your feet wet, here are some places to look for internships and other opportunities: - Council on International Educational Exchange
- Public Policy Internship Program
- The American Foreign Service Association
- The Council on Foreign Relations
No matter where you get your PhD in international relations, it could pave the way for a long, rewarding, and influential career. In an increasingly global world, our future depends on forging connections that transcend borders, ideologies, industries, and systems. With a PhD in international relations, you could be a major part of these vital efforts. - Association of Professional Schools of International Affairs, “Career Opportunities in International Affairs”
