Program Overview

Domestic political division, competition and corruption, however, has led to frustration among the American public. As rivals China and Russia make a play for power, while Washington DC and the statehouses struggle to do the same, never has there been a more exciting time to study US politics.
 

There is an increasing demand in government, non-profits and academia for professionals skilled in politics and international relations – two subject specialisms in which Keele has enjoyed a longstanding reputation for teaching and research excellence.
 

International relations has been taught here for over 50 years, founded by Professor Alan James, one of the first chairs of the British International Studies Association. While some of the best known political scientists in the UK and Europe have worked at Keele since the 1950s, including Samuel Finer, Jean Blondel, Hugh Berrington and Jack Hayward.
 

The flexible structure of our suite of MA/MRes Politics and International Relations programmes provides a high degree of focus, enabling you to engage with specific issues and carry out research into subjects of interest and relevance. You can build a tailored, systematic programme of study, choosing from our diverse collection of four different pathways – in Global Security, Politics, US Politics and International Relations – as well as a wide range of module choices. We also offer an MSc in International Diplomacy.
 

On this US Politics pathway, you can explore the differences between East and West in more depth, considering the structures, ideologies, influences and processes that affect national governance, politics, public policy, culture and society. You can dig deeper into the past and present ‘POTUS’ personalities, their highs and lows, perceived failures, and why the US presidential elections captivate public interest around the world.
 

Sharing experiences and studying alongside students from all the world, you’ll become part of a dynamic academic community, which benefits from small class sizes, strong student-staff relations and expert research supervision. As well as the in-depth research carried out for your dissertation, the action research project allows you to investigate a specific issue or topic of relevance to your chosen pathway, for example, examining how the UK public views American gun culture or whether alt-right US ideas are entering UK politics.
