PhD students in the International Relations Department have received training in key disciplinary subjects at both LSE and leading research methods schools in the UK, Europe and North America. Our students have also gained extensive teaching experience and many will have completed the Postgraduate Certificate in Higher Education (PGCert) before finishing their studies.
For further questions about the research and skills of our PhD candidates entering the job market, please contact: Professor Chris Alden, Doctoral Programme Director: j.c.alden@lse.ac.uk
