MA (Hons) Geopolitics (Level 2 entry) in Dundee United Kingdom | University of Dundee

In your initial two years, you'll establish a strong foundation in core concepts across both disciplines, starting with the level 1 Global Challenges module (Politics) and progressing to Dynamic Human Worlds: Society, Culture, Economy (Geography), followed by International Relations (Politics) at level 2. Additionally, you can select complementary subjects alongside your main disciplines, ranging from History and Psychology to language studies or various other options.

During years three and four, you'll typically pursue an equal balance of advanced modules in either Politics (or International Relations) and Geography. Each instructor specializes in teaching areas where they have demonstrated research expertise.

Within Politics and International Relations (P&IR), current elective modules explore topics such as Russian, Irish, and Middle Eastern politics, nationalism, political theories, human rights, and humanitarian intervention. Other available modules address subjects like illegal drugs, gender and sexuality, environmental sustainability, and surveillance. Third-year students must select a Geography module from a designated list, allowing them to focus on either human or physical geography while honing research skills.

At level 4, you can choose from the complete selection of P&IR and Geography modules. Highlighting the program's flexibility, while a dissertation is mandatory, you have the option to complete it in either of your two primary subjects.
