Research
In the past 50 years, we have
earned an enviable reputation for
the wide-reaching impact of our
research. Our postgraduates are an
integral part of this strong research
community, contributing significantly
to our reputation for excellence.
Whether you join us as a postgraduate

researcher or to undertake a taught course,
well encourage you to push the limits of your
own academic curiosity. We were ranked 7th
overall among UK research universities in the
UK governments 2014 Research Excellence
Framework (REF), with 87% of our research
rated either internationally excellent or
world-leading. This means that you will be
learning alongside the worlds top academics
at a university that continues to commit to the
best research infrastructure and facilities.
Gain experience and skills

More than 450 research-led events were
held in the Wolfson Research Exchange last
year, in a space dedicated to postgraduate
and postdoctoral researchers. Many more
similar events are organised regularly in the
Postgraduate Hub (see p20) and across our
academic departments, meaning you can engage
with your academic peers through seminars,
workshops, reading groups or visiting lectures.
Research
There are also many opportunities for you to get

your research published. You can get a flavour of
our postgraduate and staff research interests by
accessing downloadable publications through
the Warwick Research Archive Portal (WRAP).
Were committed to helping you improve your
research skills through our established Research
Student Skills Programme (RSSP). This provides
you with the academic, research and personal
development training you need. Many academic
departments provide additional academic skills
programmes tailored to your chosen subject.
Global impact
Our research strives to make a globally
distinctive contribution to society, taking a
multidisciplinary approach to tackling the
toughest global challenges. Through our Global
Research Priorities (GRPs), our researchers are
working to find solutions to key challenges
such as energy, global governance, food
and international development and you
could play a part in finding those solutions.
We are also the only European university to

be included in an international consortium
to set up a new Center for Urban Science
and Progress (CUSP) in New York. This
unique consortium of world-class academic
institutions and private technology companies
creates an applied science research institute
to address the needs of cities worldwide.
In January 2015, Warwick was announced as
one of only five universities chosen to establish
the prestigious 42m Alan Turing Institute
for Data Science. This means our exceptional
researchers from Mathematical Sciences will be
at the forefront of the UKs approach to big data.
Well help the Institute to meet societys toughest
challenges, and strengthen the links between
academia and technology industries. Using the
headquarters at the British Library in London as
a base, well use our research strength to fully
exploit the trends and patterns found within huge
data sets. By working alongside the very best,
well make the UK a world leader in big data.
Connecting research networks

As a researcher at Warwick, youll have many
opportunities to engage with academic
events both in the UK and overseas. Your
department may be able to support you with
a small travel, conference or research fund,
and many of our researchers successfully
win additional grants, either as individual
awards or as part of their scholarships. From
the American Study and Student Exchanges
Programme and the Humanities Research
Fund to the Lord Rootes Memorial Fund,
there are many routes to access funds that
will support your personal and academic
development in an international context.
We also regularly attract expert speakers from
across the world here to Warwick. Our Institute
of Advanced Studys Visiting Fellowship scheme
promotes collaborative research and enhances
the international impact of your own research.
Its events are a great opportunity for you to meet
and work with more senior researchers.
The online research network Piirus is just one
example of how Warwick is leading the way to
help you make contacts and find collaborators
from other institutions in any discipline.
www.warwick.ac.uk
Closer to home
Informing industry
Through thought-provoking public engagement

activities, we ensure our research has a local
reach as well as a global one. From theatre
performances and schools activities to BBC
documentaries and robot workshops, our
academic departments work with diverse
partners to ensure that our research has the
widest possible impact. For example, Warwicks
research has reached millions through Dr Michael
Scotts (Classics and Ancient History) BBC series
Ancient Greece: The Greatest Show on Earth and
Romes Invisible City.
Many leading UK and international companies

invest heavily in Warwicks research expertise
an investment that contributes to continual
improvement in our learning and research
facilities. Several of our departments maintain
active links with policymakers, industry and
cultural partners. Our international industry
partners include GlaxoSmithKline, Jaguar Land
Rover, Brucker, Siemens, Intel, NASA and TATA
Motors to name but a few.
You may want to get involved in our Chancellors

Commission, a project that will consider
the future role of our University in Coventry,
Warwickshire and the wider region. It focuses on
Warwicks ambition and growth, and the benefits
for the area over the coming decades, exploring
the investment and infrastructure needed to
deliver an optimum and sustainable contribution.
Our 2014 Warwick Commission addressing
the future of cultural value in Britain had
wide-reaching impact, and was welcomed by
policymakers and key figures within the arts
sector. Sir Peter Bazalgette, the chairman of Arts
Council England, said: Two critical themes leap
out of this report the importance of improving
access to the arts, and that culture and the
creative industries are one entity. The reports
proposals contain much welcome new thinking.
One recent example of this investment is the

National Automotive Innovation Centre (NAIC),
a project designed to provide a critical mass of
research capability by combining automotive
expertise nationally and internationally. Building
work is currently underway on the Centre, which
will be located on campus. It aims to develop
breakthrough designs, technologies and
processes by fostering collaboration, cohesion
and cross-fertilisation of knowledge. 150 million
is being invested in the NAIC capital building
and its research activities through a long-term
commitment between Jaguar Land Rover,
Tata Motors European Technical Centre, WMG
and the University of Warwick, along with an
expanding network of supplier companies and
Higher Education Funding Council England.
Warwick has also been selected as the hub
location of the Advanced Propulsion Centre.
The Centre will support a 1bn commitment
by industry and the UK government to develop
low-carbon propulsions systems.
Fields Medal
In 2014, Professor Martin Hairer, Regius
Professor of Mathematics at Warwick, was
awarded the Fields Medal, the worlds most
prestigious mathematics award. It recognised
his outstanding contributions to the theory of
stochastic partial differential equations, and in
particular the creation of a theory of regularity
structures for such equations.
The Fields Medal is awarded every four
years at the International Congress of
Mathematicians to recognise outstanding
mathematical achievement for existing work
and for the promise of future achievement.

Adam Tsakalidis
Postgraduate researcher at the Warwick

Institute for the Science of Cities
My research focuses on social media analysis
and trying to extract knowledge from this huge
amount of social data in order to predict future
events, for example, in politics. Its simply
another important form of opinion polling.
In several cases weve found interesting
patterns. For example, in studying the recent
UK elections, we noticed that the sentiment
during the seven leader debate became highly
polarised. Its correlations like this that were
trying to unearth, correlations that indicate that
both the politicians and commentators
on social media have a part to play.

Teaching
and learning
No doubt your previous university
experiences have helped you
to build a solid foundation of subject
knowledge. Our committed teaching
staff can empower you to take this
understanding to the next level.
Study with us as a postgraduate, and youll join a

community where your perspectives, knowledge,
values and aspirations help to shape our teaching
and learning approach. This means that youll
work alongside our academics as partners and
co-creators of knowledge.
Innovative learning
Were a university with a world-class reputation
for research, so we attract teachers who are at the
forefront in their respective fields. Our teaching
staff are continually exploring new and exciting
ways to communicate their own research and
understanding, introducing you to fresh insights
and approaches to learning.
Our Institute for Advanced Teaching and Learning
(IATL) exists to inspire staff and students to
realise these ambitious teaching ideas and push
the boundaries. If learning can be brought to
life outside of the traditional classroom space,
IATL will help facilitate this. Whether youre a
postgraduate researcher or undertaking a taught
course, you can apply for one of IATLs Student as
Producer Awards. These provide financial support
for you to pursue innovative teaching and learning
projects arising from or outside of the curriculum.
Some of our undergraduate courses also

include teaching by postgraduate research
students, giving you the opportunity to pass on
your own knowledge to others. The Universitys
annual Warwick Awards for Teaching Excellence
recognise both staff and postgraduate
researchers who have made an exceptional
impact on students learning experiences.
Our commitment to excellent teaching has
been recognised outside the University too.
Since 2006, the Higher Education Academy
has awarded 11 prestigious National Teaching
Fellowships to individuals at Warwick.
First-class facilities
We appreciate how important it is to study,
and be taught, in excellent facilities. We also
recognise that no two people learn in exactly the
same way. Thats why our study facilities provide
adaptable learning environments that cater for
all learning styles.
Our University Library is an ideal base for any

study, whether you prefer quiet individual study
areas or spaces that encourage collaboration.
Youll have access to over one million printed
works and tens of thousands of electronic books
and journals. For in-depth research into social,
political and economic history, use our Modern
Records Centre, which holds an extensive range
of nationally important primary sources.
If youre at your best learning in relaxed
environments, head to our Learning Grids or the
Biomed Grid here youll find spaces to engage
in group work, try out alternative teaching spaces,
and access multimedia technology 24 hours a day,
seven days a week. Weve even created a Learning
Grid off-campus in nearby Leamington Spa.
Were also investing 20 million in a new
teaching and learning building, where youll
have access to state-of-the-art facilities including
premium lecture theatres, small-group teaching
and seminar spaces, innovative social learning
and network areas, and advanced technology.

Celebrating all cultures
Global approach
Whether youre an international student, or just

keen to learn about different cultures, many
of our campus events have an international
dimension. World@Warwick is the second largest
student-run society, which was set up to create
opportunities for students to achieve greater
mutual understanding of each others cultures.
It is one of many groups involved in organising
One World Week an annual festival celebrating

After graduation, I returned to Malaysia to
continue my role as an electrical engineer at
Thermadyne. It is one of the leading US-based
companies in the manufacture of welding
equipment and related products. I stayed with
the company for more than ten years and was
appointed as an engineering manager in 2007.
The knowledge I gained at Warwick, plus the
beneficial skills and awareness gained through
my industrial experiences definitely helped
me in this challenging role.
At end of 2011, I decided to pursue a career

was getting my head around the amount of
documents involved in international criminal
cases. These can go on for years, even
decades, so the number of witness statements
and amount of evidence can be overwhelming.
We have to analyse and create very complex
legal arguments, often in a very short period
of time. If youre considering Law at Warwick,
Id say go for it. Having studied at three
higher education establishments now, I
found Warwicks teaching staff by far the
most helpful and supportive.

Volunteering
Every year, over 1,000 of our students get involved
with voluntary work. Our many student volunteers
help to maintain our strong relationship with the
local community and also contribute to wider
humanitarian and environmental causes. If youre
keen to help others, you can access a variety of
volunteering and campaigning opportunities
through Warwick Volunteers, SU societies and
special projects like Warwick in Africa (see p14
for more details).
Volunteering isnt just a one-way experience.
Youll not only make a real difference to others,
but will also enhance your skills and boost your
employability. Youll gain experience of working
with different groups of people and will build
valuable transferable skills, including project
management, communication and leadership.

My Warwick degrees have been invaluable to

a career in script development. They exposed
me to a wide variety of different styles,
genres, and periods of narrative storytelling.
They helped identify devices that can have a
profound impact on the way a story is told.
Moreover, in having been exposed to such a
broad range of cinema, I feel better equipped
to research and develop new projects and
ideas with writers. Ive found this to be true
when working with individual writers on one
specific project at a time, and when working
across a broad slate of films and television
shows at various stages of development and
production at Big Talk Pictures.

audiences and exhibitions of wartime health
posters in a local hospital.
Activity for everyone

Sport plays a huge part in student life at Warwick,
whether youre an elite athlete or an absolute
beginner. You might think you dont enjoy sport,
but were willing to bet that we offer a few sports
you havent tried before: Dodgeball? Lacrosse?
Ultimate Frisbee?
Perhaps youre keen to compete at national or
even international level? Then you might be
interested in our Warwick Sport Scholarship and
Bursary Scheme, which offers financial support
for top-level athletes.
Or maybe you just want to meet new people,
get active and have fun. Whatever your
motivation, you can join in at whatever level
you feel comfortable.
Our facilities are among the best in the UK
and were used as an official training venue
for the Olympic football teams during the
London 2012 Olympic Games. Our main
University Sports Centre houses a gym, a
25-metre six-lane swimming pool, squash
courts, a functional training studio and an
aerobics studio. We also have an indoor and
outdoor tennis centre, outdoor all-weather
floodlit pitches, a 400-metre all-weather
running track and three indoor sports halls.
On top of that, were investing 40m and a lot
of thought into making sport at Warwick even
more rewarding and accessible. From 2015,
were creating new sporting spaces across
campus. These spaces will have free, convenient
equipment for everyone to use, perfect if you
find yourself with a few minutes to spare between
study and meeting friends. Were also starting
work on a brand new sports centre, which will
feature everything youd want from a modern,
flexible sporting facility.

How to apply for accommodation
I live in a house in Earlsdon

(Coventry), which I share with
three other students, all of
different nationalities: British,
Swedish and Chinese. This
has given me a great chance
to meet some new people
and experience different
cultures. As a postgraduate,
I need more independence,
so living in Earlsdon helps
me to balance the time I
spend on campus.

Local area
While youll enjoy the benefits
of our great campus facilities,
its definitely worth exploring
the local area. Whether youre
a country-lover or you enjoy
city life, our campus is perfectly
positioned to give you the best
of both worlds.
We are located in Coventry, which is in the centre

of the UK, close to the Warwickshire towns of
Leamington Spa, Kenilworth and Warwick. With
city lights and countryside both within easy
reach, you wont be short of choice for things to
see and do nearby. This means youll have a great
base for enriching your research experience
by exploring the history, culture, and thriving
industries of the local area. Equally, you can relax
by making the most of the beautiful countryside,
cultural and historical attractions, live music and
theatre, and some great nights out.
A thriving city
Warwickshire towns
When youre on campus, surrounded by our

lovely green spaces, you could be forgiven for
thinking youre in the countryside, but were just
three miles from Coventry city centre, where youll
find everything you would expect from a thriving,
modern city.
The elegant 18th century town of Royal

Leamington Spa, home to many Warwick
students, is within easy reach of campus by
public transport. Leamington Spa is a lively
student town, with cafs, restaurants, shops
and nightlife to suit all tastes and budgets.
Many of our students living off campus choose to

make their home in Coventry, where the bustling
city centre offers plenty to do, wherever your
interests lie. The cathedral city was built up around
motor manufacture and engineering, and we have
developed strong links with local industry. Youll
also find theatres, a major art gallery, a variety of
shops, bars, clubs, and Coventrys two cathedrals.
If youre looking to explore more

of Warwickshire, the historic towns
of Kenilworth, Warwick and
Stratford-upon-Avon provide
more options for days and nights
out, and are all easily accessible
by public transport.
The city is currently undergoing major

regeneration to return it to its original medieval
street layout by creating more open pedestrian
spaces. Some of the citys most historic streets
have been restored, and these are now home
to many new independent shops, cafs and
unique businesses.

Stratford-upon-Avon
Well connected
We also draw on the heritage of our local area

to design innovative new courses. Weve made
the most of our proximity to Stratford-upon-Avon,
Shakespeares birthplace and home to the worldfamous Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC). Our
innovative approach to studying Shakespeare
is unparalleled in the UK and anywhere else in
the world.
If you want to venture further, London is just an

hours train ride from Coventry, and Birmingham
is 20 minutes away by train. Birmingham
International Airport is a 20-minute drive from
campus, meaning that you can easily travel
abroad for study, research or leisure.
Our MA in Global Shakespeare (p178) aims

to shape the future research agenda in twentyfirst century Shakespeare studies across
criticism, performance, history, and media
from television to digital reproduction.
Things to see and do in the local area

Step back in time at Warwick Castle, which
dates back almost 11 centuries. Its annual
events programme includes jousting,
dungeon trails, an outdoor cinema and
medieval banquets.
Take in a top sports event. Coventrys Ricoh
Arena is home to top Premiership rugby team
Wasps and is also a venue for Coventry City
Football Club.
Enjoy a theatre performance by the
world-famous Royal Shakespeare Company
in Stratford-upon-Avon, or at Coventrys
Belgrade Theatre, which attracts some
of the UKs best touring musicals,
plays and dance productions.
Explore the new and the old Coventry
Cathedrals. After the original cathedral was
bombed during World War II, the remains
were left in place and a new cathedral built
alongside them.
Treat yourself on a shopping trip to Coventry,
where youll find all the major high street
stores, or Leamington Spa, where you can
search for unique items in the towns many
independent boutiques.
Take a train to Birmingham city centre and
enjoy some shopping in the Bullring, or visit
one of its museums, theatres or art galleries.

Josh Cartwright
PhD in Life Sciences
The advice Id give is to apply for as many

sources of funding as possible, so you
maximise your chances of success and have
other applications to fall back on if one is
unsuccessful. Im funded by the Midlands
Integrative Biosciences Training Partnership
(MIBTP), a doctoral training partnership
backed by the Biotechnology & Biological
Sciences Research Council. This is helping me
to establish a future in biochemistry, whether
thats working with industry or as a postdoc.
My PhD Supervisor has been a great help,
encouraging me to seek MIBTP funding
as well as applying for a University scholarship.

Whether youre a recent arts graduate, a budding

entrepreneur or a seasoned media professional,
this course will help you to tackle the real
challenges of running a small creative business.
The ways in which media is produced and

consumed are rapidly changing; as industry
seeks to manage the challenges of a
globalised and knowledge-driven economy,
we are increasingly engaging with media
in all aspects of our lives. But media also
concerns power and politics. This course will
deepen your understanding of these complex
dynamics and practices, preparing you for
a career in this fast-changing industry.
Focusing on the special relationship between

creativity, strategic management and cultural
entrepreneurship, this was the first programme
in the UK to examine the business of creativity.
Youll study core modules in Creativity and
Organisation, and Managing Intellectual Property.
You can also choose from optional modules on
topics such as cultural entrepreneurship, brands
and meaning, audiences and marketing. We
encourage you to discover a creative approach
to management and a managed approach to
creativity, which can then be applied to a range
of scenarios and industries.
This course will equip you with the strategic and
conceptual thinking skills required to work across
the range of creative and media sectors. Recent
graduates have gone on to work in a variety of
roles in areas such as TV, advertising, research,
marketing, rights management and self-seeded
start-up companies.
www.warwick.ac.uk/pgcreativeme
Youll explore the role of ideas, beliefs and values

in media production and consumption. Youll also
learn how media products and content enable us
to communicate creatively and effectively across
global markets and cultural borders. By engaging
with theory and research, youll consider how
media can inform new kinds of professional
practice and anticipate future developments.
Research, teamwork, and engagement with
industry practices and debates form an
integral part of the course. Engagement with
industry professionals means youll have many
opportunities to apply your knowledge to
real-world examples and challenges. Our
recent graduates have embarked on
careers in public relations, marketing, the

Taking the international dimension of cultural
policy and management as its starting point, the
programme draws on experiences and examples
from around the world and gives you the skills
needed to anticipate future developments. As
well as engaging with the practical realities of
cultural and managerial practice, we encourage
you to reflect critically on the real-world examples
you encounter. A dissertation on a topic of your
choice enables you to develop your research
skills and follow your academic interests whilst
also allowing you to investigate current issues,
themes and developments in cultural policy.
You may also choose to undertake a placement
with a cultural organisation, giving you the
opportunity to hone your cultural management
skills. Our programme of guest speakers and
careers support will give you insights into current
practice and research and highlight the many

MA in Arts, Enterprise and Development

Full-time: 1 year
Part-time: 2 years
media or related subject
Culture and development is a major new subject
of policy and research, much of which is driven
by a great challenge how do we use artistic
creativity and cultural enterprise as a force
for human, social and economic progress?
Informed by development activity undertaken
by international bodies such as UNESCO, the
UNDP, and the European Union, this course
examines the impact of arts and culture in a
range of geographical and cultural contexts in
advanced and developing countries, including
post-communist societies, religious republics and
conflict zones and in small-scale local economies.
Youll consider the rights and wrongs of using
arts and culture in local and international
development, and explore how we can use
arts and culture to further social justice as well
as economic growth. Working collaboratively
in cross-cultural teams, you will identify
development issues, formulate solutions, devise
projects and construct professional proposals.
The programme equips you with a critical
overview of the values and theoretical
frameworks in the field; enables you to conduct
systematic research into cultural enterprises
and their contribution; supports you to critically
reflect on their significance; and develops your
own vocational direction and capacity for active
involvement in development projects.

These flexible courses give you the choice

to study either an extensive range of literary
genres, texts and approaches on the Open
Pathway, or to explore in depth a field
through one of seven specialist Pathways.
This MA combines a strong grounding

in translation theory with a focus on the
practice of literary translation and the study
of literatures across cultures and languages.
The opportunity to benefit from the
experience of the many practising translators
in English and Comparative Literary Studies
is one of the degrees unique offerings.
Are you interested in exploring ideas in

comparative literary study and keen to engage
with new theories of literature and society?
This course focuses on world literary systems,
exploring the relationship between texts based
on shared conditions and situations, rather than
by language, genre, area or historical period.

On the Open Pathway, you can choose

Metapsychology, Poetics of Urban Modernism
and Romantic Elegy. A non-dissertation route is
also available. Specialist pathways are available
in Critical Theory; Modern and Contemporary
Literature; Sexuality and Gender; Shakespeare
and the British Dramatic Tradition; Literature
and Psychoanalysis; Poetry and Poetics; or
Romantic and Victorian. The Diploma in English
Literature is designed for those who wish to
study English Literature at a higher level. In
most cases it provides a bridge to MA study
or a higher-level qualification, but can also be
studied as an independent qualification.
Recent postgraduates have advanced to pursue
further research or roles in broadcasting,
journalism, public relations, market research,
publishing and teaching both in the UK and abroad.
Rather than focusing on translation

between specific language pairs, this MA
explores translation as a literary and cultural
phenomenon and considers how literatures
cross borders through translation. We
welcome students with expertise in English
and any other language or languages.
Recent postgraduates have gone on to work
as translators and interpreters, language
teachers, in academia, publishing, journalism
and business, among other destinations.

more traditional literary studies and themes
emerging from your own background. Research
skills form a core part of the course, equipping

Theres also a core module in the methodology
and theory of world literature, and a foundation
module on research methods. In addition, you
can choose from a variety of optional modules
that circle the globe, either from a thematic or
geographic perspective.
One of the largest and most comprehensive of

its type in Europe, the programme will enable
you to develop the appropriate skills to enter
employment in areas heavily focused on the
written word. Our Warwick Writing Programme
provides you with excellent links to other writers,
publishing houses, literary journals and agencies,
and organisations such as the Arts Council, PEN
and the Royal Literary Fund. We also have strong
relationships with other creative writing schools,
both in Britain and in the USA.
Our recent postgraduates have secured roles as

a TV researcher for the BBC, editorial assistants
with national publishing companies, marketing
executives and teachers. Several have applied
the research skills acquired through the MA and
have successfully applied for fully-funded PhDs.
Many of our postgraduates enter the writing

industry as professional writers, freelance
journalists, editors, copywriters and publishers,
and others progress into teaching, marketing
and administration.

For the art historian, Venice is one of the

most extraordinary cities in the world. Our
MA gives you a unique opportunity to study
the artistic production and cultural identity
of Venice from 1100 to the present day, and
includes a term studying in Venice. Alongside
engaging with Venetian art in itself, the course
uses the example of Venice to interrogate
some of the broader issues in Art History
today: aesthetics and perception; cultural
interaction and the arts; the spatial contexts
of art; materiality; architecture and urbanism;
and the arts within a global society.
Your first term, which youll spend in Venice at
our teaching and research base Palazzo Pesaro
Papafava, enables you to explore Venetian
and North Italian art in situ. Modules taken
on your return to Warwick for your second
and third terms examine Venetian art and
its impact on European culture in various
contexts. Youll also receive training in arthistorical methodologies that will support
you to research and write your dissertation.
Our postgraduates ultimately go on to work in a
range of creative and heritage roles, in settings
such as museums, NGOs and the arts sector.
Others have continued their studies at PhD level,
and pursued careers as curators and academics.

authorship, fictionality, imagination and narrative
should be guided by philosophical reflection.
Youll focus on the literary dimension of
philosophy and the philosophical significance
of literature and the arts, within the context
of a course designed to cross disciplinary
boundaries. Youll be taught primarily by staff
from the Departments of Philosophy and
English and Comparative Literary Studies, but
we also offer options in modern languages
and arts-focused humanities. You will have
access to courses and supervisors in both
departments, including joint supervision.
You may choose to study the MA in Philosophy
and Literature either as a self-standing degree,
or as preparation for PhD-level research. Many of
our postgraduates go on to develop careers in
literature, publishing, teaching or creative writing,
either on its own or as the basis for an academic
research career in Philosophy.

This MA gives you a high degree of flexibility

over the modules you can select. We offer a
broad selection of taught modules in 19th- and
20th-century Continental Philosophy, as well as
in other areas of philosophy.

you choose your coursework and dissertation
proposal from within the field of Continental
Philosophy, without any further restriction on your
selection of module options. You may decide to
study for the MA as a self-standing degree, or as
an entry route into PhD research (including the
option for 1+3 study). Teaching is led by nine
academics in our Department, who can support
you to frame a proposal for further doctoral
study if you achieve good results on the course.
Recent employment destinations of
our postgraduates include lecturing in
Philosophy, and working within policy

This MA allows you to explore important and big

questions about international development:
What is the relationship between inequality,
political instability and economic development?
Why does poverty persist in a world of plenty?
What new configurations of power have emerged
in a globalised society? Are all people in the
countries of the global South able to respond
and take advantage of these new configurations?
This MA builds on our long-established history in

IPE, which continues today with the UK-leading,
Department-hosted Centre for the Study of
Globalisation and Regionalisation.
This taught MA is one of the leading

postgraduate programmes of its kind. You
will be focusing on a region that has emerged
as a consistent focal point for the study of
international relations; the socio-political
consequences of economic crises; and
the impact of globalisation, among other
contemporary global priorities.

By research groups: International Political
Economy; International Relations and Security;
Comparative Politics & Democratisation;
Political Theory.
By theme: Development; Gender; Performance
and Politics; Cyber Security; Intelligence; Food
Security; Justice; US/EU/UK Foreign Policy; East
Asia; Europe; Democratisation; Political Spaces;
Environmental Policy; North-South Relations;
Ethics; International Finance; Global Governance;
Migration; Terrorism and Counter-terrorism.
Theoretical work and empirical work are not

separate exercises. Practical problems stimulate
theory construction, and theories inform the ways
that we handle substantive issues. Theory that
lacks bearing on practice is irrelevant. Action that
lacks theoretical clarity and coherence is confused
and ineffective. So, during the course you will
write policy papers, organise and participate in
a student-led conference and lead seminars as
part of your assessment. You will learn through
guided research and direct input from leading
development researchers and practitioners.
You will have the opportunity to complete an
internship with a development INGO.
Our alumni consistently secure graduate- and
professional-level jobs soon after graduation in
a variety of sectors. International Development
alumni destinations include the UN Relief and
Works Agency, Barclays, and local government.
By addressing both mainstream and critical

approaches, you will be encouraged to think in a
reflective and challenging way about issues such
as the global financial crisis, gender politics and
the environment. A core module, Theories and
Issues in International Political Economy, gives
you a comprehensive introduction to the main
theoretical approaches and most pressing political
issues in the discipline. You can also choose from a
selection of cutting-edge options in trade, finance,
development and global governance.
Our graduate destinations include the European
Bank for Reconstruction and Development, JP
Morgan and HM Treasury.
www.warwick.ac.uk/pgipe
This is not a traditional area studies course

on East Asia, but rather a disciplinary degree
that focuses on the region for its case studies.
The degree combines a strong disciplinary
and regional expertise. Our Department has
drawn together one of the largest research and
teaching clusters on East and South-East Asia
in Europe. Many of these staff contribute to the
delivery of the MA, so you will find them giving
lectures or supervising your thesis on Asiafocused topics.
Our IPEA graduates have ascended into highly
competitive internships (e.g. UN in Thailand
and UK Cabinet Office); roles in international
business, NGOs and think-tanks; and doctorallevel study at Warwick and other top institutions.

This MA programme examines key questions

of war and peace, life and death, safety and
survival. A core module on Concepts and
Theories of International Security provides a lens
on the most pressing contemporary challenges
to international security. It encourages you to
develop critical and reflective perspectives on the
engagement between traditional and critical
approaches to the issues under consideration.
Are you interested in studying political,

legal and moral philosophy to an advanced
level? This MA encourages you to consider
how normative analysis can be addressed to
matters of public concern.
Are you keen to develop your understanding

of international relations and European politics,
focusing particularly on the EUs position in the
context of the wider global political economy?
You can choose to explore in depth either
International Relations or International Political
Economy. A core module on Europe and the
World gives you the opportunity to contemplate
questions on the role of the EU within the context
of neoliberalism, foreign policy, human rights
and the current economic crisis. Assessment
combines academic essays with more policyoriented assignments (e.g. policy reports),
developing a wide range of academic and
career-relevant skills.
Our recent IPEU postgraduates have advanced into
careers in diplomacy, think-tanks, academia and
roles within international institutions and NGOs.
www.warwick.ac.uk/pgipeu
This course encourages you to reframe and

critically assess key theories and core issues in
international relations. It gives you a gateway
into PhD research and careers in policy, the civil
service and the international NGO sector.
A core module on Theories and Issues in
International Relations equips you with
the skills to frame contemporary issues in
international politics through multiple lenses of
understanding. Focused on pivotal texts in the
discipline, it introduces you to the big issues
facing global decision-makers: from war and
poverty to the complexities of environmental
degradation; and from security and the study
of global elites to issues of inequality. You
will have multiple opportunities for academic
collaboration through group presentations.
You can also choose a number of optional
modules from within the Department.
These issues are fundamentally important
to businesses, governments and voluntary
organisations across the world. The course
enables you to develop your own insights and
critical skills, so that you can effectively contribute
towards solutions to these complex challenges
when you graduate.
With around 20 members of staff working in this

area within PAIS, we can offer you an expansive
and distinctive range of optional modules. Topics
available for advanced study include: regional
security environments; the politics and practices
of intelligence and covert action; migration,
human security and development; insurgency
and (counter) terrorism.
Many of our postgraduates have advanced into
roles in international organisations (e.g. UN,
World Bank), foreign ministries and intelligence
services (e.g. Egypt, Malta and UK), NGOs
(e.g. Campaign Against Arms Trade), security
and development consulting, think tanks,
charities and journalism.
www.warwick.ac.uk/pgintsec
The programme brings together expertise

from Law and Philosophy into a core module
on Political and Legal Theory. This distinctive,
interdisciplinary approach is supported through
further close co-operation with the Centre for
Ethics, Law and Public Affairs, which is based
in our Department. The course provides an
advanced introduction to the central normative
conceptions and the debates they have
generated, which you can explore in more detail
through a wide range of optional modules.
With a real-world focus, the course trains you to
assess implications of different approaches for
public policy, institutional design and the law.
Our alumni consistently secure graduate- and
professional-level jobs soon after graduation
in a range of sectors, including politics and
policymaking, NGOs, journalism, business
and finance, law and academia.

Governments are facing more demands of
greater complexity every day. Meanwhile, their
ability to deliver on those demands is increasingly
circumscribed. This course is ideal if you want to
pursue advanced conceptual studies in politics,
which nevertheless include an applied focus.
It considers the impediments and opportunities
in contemporary policy-making. As a result,
you will emerge better able to assess how
governments can overcome inertia and select
the best policies for todays world. Our core
module on Theories and Traditions in Public
Policy identifies and analyses the history of policy
studies, the core concepts of policy analysis, and
theories of policy change.

Warwick Sociology has 25 members of

academic staff with wide-ranging theoretical,
methodological and substantive research
interests. Experts in their field, our academics
welcome enquiries from potential PhD students
with an idea for a research project.
We offer two research degrees at PhD Level: the
PhD in Sociology and the PhD in Women and
Gender Studies. The PhD in Sociology reflects the
multi-disciplinary strengths of our staff including
social and cultural research, from traditional
sociology and social theory to contemporary
cultural and media studies. The PhD in Women
and Gender Studies, meanwhile, is primarily
concerned with analysing how different bases of
inequality and identity, such as race, gender and
class, intersect with each other.
www.warwick.ac.uk/pgsociologyres
This course encourages you to question the

concept of development, particularly western
understandings of it, and gives priority to issues
and debates identified within specific countries
under study rather than relying on predominantly
western literature. Located at the intersection of
interdisciplinary gender studies and international
feminist theory, it argues that gender relations
are central to processes of international
development and that gender is cross-cut
by other significant differences.
Youll study core modules that address
theoretical perspectives on gender and
development, and their relationship to
paradigms in development thought, as well as
policymaking and implementation in gender and
development. Youll also receive training in social
sciences research through a core module shared
across all of our MA programmes. You can then
apply these skills as you undertake independent
research under supervision in order to complete
your dissertation.
Our optional modules enable you to explore
gender and development in relation to issues
such as global capitalism and the labour
process, human rights, and postcolonial
theory. Our students have gone on to
work in contexts including development
agencies in their own or other countries,
national or local government work, charities,
private and public sector management and
administration, and academic research.

MSc/PG Diploma in Science,

Full-time: 1 year
Part-time: 2 years
Are you interested in exploring the impacts
of science, media and policy on the economy,
politics, publics and the natural world? This
innovative and interdisciplinary MSc course
analyses the far-reaching impact of these vital
fields within contemporary life.
Science is increasingly visible in todays
society, influencing public policy, generating
economic growth, and impacting on our daily
lives. For these reasons, science regularly
enters the public domain through the media,
but the nature of this publicity is complex,
requiring dedicated study by those wanting to
understand the relationship and to intervene
effectively. Our top academics are working at
the cutting edge of both the theoretical and
practical dimensions of these issues, bringing
world-leading expertise into this degree.
This course will equip you with the theoretical
and practical skills needed to understand
and manage the complexity of science,
media and policy relations. It is likely to
appeal to individuals from social and natural
science backgrounds, as well as those with a

Providing a thorough grounding in the classical

traditions of social and political theory, this
MA addresses key concepts and ideas that
are central to the analysis of contemporary
society, politics and culture. These include
debates over the basis of contemporary
capitalism, neoliberalism and biopolitics, and
the fundamental socio-biological question of
what it means to be human. The programme
anchors many of these debates and concerns
within the history of social and political thought.
This MA offers advanced training in quantitative

and qualitative methodologies for undertaking
research in Sociology and allied Social Sciences.
It also allows you ample scope to explore your
own specialist academic interests.
Our MA in Sociology gives you a thorough

grounding in the theories and methodologies
of Sociology and allied Social Sciences, while
allowing you room to explore specialist aspects
of the discipline.
Youll gain advanced knowledge and

understanding of the theoretical issues involved
in conceptualising social research, and the
political and ethical questions involved in
undertaking research investigations. Through
hands-on training in quantitative and qualitative
methods, you will also develop the skills
necessary to design, conduct, analyse and
communicate your findings. Optional modules
enable you to explore specialist fields and
to apply this knowledge to the independent
research project that forms your dissertation.
Core modules introduce the exciting

research taking place in the Department and
beyond. You can then choose to explore a
particular specialist area in more depth (e.g.
human-animal interactions, global power
relationships, religion and politics, work and
employment, or food and education policies)
or continue to access the breadth of ideas
and approaches offered by the subject. You
will develop a detailed understanding of a
range of traditional and cutting-edge social
research methods, and will learn to apply this
knowledge in an independent research project
that forms the basis of your dissertation.
Youll study two core modules. The first State,

Capitalism and Market reflects analytically and
critically on capitalism and its recurrent crises,
particularly the recent financial crisis. The second
core module Politics and Social Theory
focuses on the concept of ideology as a
defining feature of politics, and especially the
role that both religion and science have played
in constituting modern political ideologies.
We also encourage you to pursue your own
substantive interests by choosing from a wide
range of optional modules. Questions can be
explored through personal research in your final
dissertation project. Following the course, youll
be well-placed to move into a wide range of
careers including teaching, media, accountancy,
public and charitable sectors.
www.warwick.ac.uk/mscsmpp
This degree prepares you for work in a range of

careers that value analytical ability, the capacity
to link theoretical sophistication to empirical
research, and the skill of communicating complex
ideas to a range of audiences. Our postgraduates
have gone on to pursue employment in teaching,
media, accountancy, recruitment and human
resources, working within private, public and
charitable sectors.

in films by internationally-acclaimed directors.
The course investigates theoretical, historical,
performance and pedagogical approaches to
Shakespeares global afterlives and provides a
rich mix of intellectual activity that will support you

Digital processes are transforming culture,

the economy and society. This course
explores the origins and impact of these
changes. It gives you the training to
understand and make use of digital media
critically, creatively and productively.
If youre pursuing a professional career in
knowledge-based companies, whether in
museums, marketing agencies, businesses,
charities, new-media production companies,
public relations or think-tanks, this course is for
you. It will equally qualify you with the academic
skills for further doctoral study.
Youll develop a critical and practice-based
understanding of the impact of links, queries,
downloads and uploads, file formats, archives,
databases and networks more generally. Core
modules introduce you to the conceptual and
methodological dimensions of the digital realm.
You then select two or three option modules
in areas that cover the theoretical and socioeconomic aspects of digital culture, urban
science, big data and complexity. A dissertation
allows you to explore your own questions and
interests in more depth.

Are you keen to learn more about the ways
in which big data is transforming digital
processes in everyday life? Increasingly,
governments, business, industry and third
sector organisations all rely on employees
with an understanding of big data, how it
can be used, its benefits and limitations.
You dont need a computer science, mathematics
or statistics background to apply. Increasingly
big data is used to track social trends and an
understanding of big data is required in a
growing range of employment contexts, meaning
companies are recruiting graduates from a wider
pool of academic backgrounds. The course
addresses how big data challenges traditional
research processes; it examines questions of data
access; the potential impacts on privacy, ethics
and security; and temporal and spatial changes
introduced by big data through real time global
infrastructures; along with issues of governance
and policy.
Youll benefit from guest lectures by industry
experts, and lab work, project work and software
skills training will form an integral part of your
learning experience. The course takes an
interdisciplinary approach, with flexible module
options both within the Centre and from outside
departments. These could include modules in
politics, international studies and sociology, as
well as mathematics and computer science.
MSC in Urban Informatics and Analytics

Full-time: 1 year
Part-time: 2 years
In the last decade, urban science has gained
recognition as a new approach to the study of
cities and urban life. This is partly due to the
harnessing of big and open data relating to
urban infrastructure, socio-economic profiles
and activities that take place in cities; and in part
a result of developments in social physics and
complexity theory.
This course will enable you to understand and
promote the theory and science of smart cities
and to gather city-scale data. Youll also gain
the skills to transform this data into knowledge,
capitalising on emerging developments in
big data and interdisciplinary solutions to the
worlds urban challenges. Unlike most existing
courses that focus exclusively on data practices
and tools rather than urban life itself, this course
combines training in theoretical approaches with
knowledge of practice-based methodological
skills. This means youll be able to use digitalised
urban data to make informed decisions about
real-world problems.
The course also provides a pathway to the
PhD programme in Urban Science at Warwick
Institute of Science for Cities (WISC) if you intend
to undertake further postgraduate research at
doctoral level. WISC has ties with CUSP (Center
for the Urban Science and Progress) at New York
University (see p5 for more information).
