Research degrees
International Relations, Politics and History invites postgraduate researchers to work as part of a convivial and interdisciplinary research community.
Postgraduate research in IRPH provides the opportunity to study challenging political issues and make original contribution to the study of Politics, International Relations, and History.
Our internationally renowned supervisors, who undertake world-leading research in contemporary politics and political theory, international and security studies, and early modern and modern history, welcome innovative research projects.
While postgraduate researchers start working with their supervisory team immediately upon commencement of their studies, they also undertake research training, including from the School of Social Sciences and Humanities, Loughborough Doctoral College, and Loughborough University Library.
As members of a vibrant research community, postgraduate researchers actively participate in the undertakings of Research Centres and Groups. They contribute to the intellectual vibrancy that makes us a research community and through that engagement feed into initiatives and practices that not only enrich their own research, but contributes to our wider research community.
