Description

Programme description

Marion Greziller

I was first attracted to The University of Manchester for its high-quality academic and research-intensive environment for politics and international relations,

ranked in the top ten in the UK, and for the opportunity to work with my supervisors, Dr Laura McLeod and Prof Georgina Waylen.

Marion Greziller / PhD Politics student

Our Politics PhD programme is a three-year (full-time) or six-year (part-time) course of study that enables you to carry out a piece of in-depth research in the area that most interests you.

You will benefit from a global reputation, lively PhD student body, multiple research seminar series, and expertise in a diverse set of areas of politics grouped in our five research clusters.
