Postgraduate student life

Politics is an inclusive department with a diverse and lively student community. Both in Exeter and Cornwall the department offers a welcoming atmosphere where it’s easy to make new friends and where staff and students know each other well.

You will also be part of the wider College of Social Sciences and International Studies Graduate Research School and will have plenty of opportunity to mix with students and staff from other disciplines and take part in events or hear visiting speakers’ seminars. The Graduate School team also provides a friendly point of contact for any queries you have about the application process, orientation or life within the Institute.
