On Monday 15 January, the department will be hosting its second MPhil Careers Day. All MPhils of the Department of Politics and International Studies are invited and encouraged to attend.

The Careers Day covers sectors you expressed an interest in. From 11am to 4pm you will have the chance to learn more about how to enter the fields of Media and Journalism, Law, the Civil Service, Research and Consultancy, and the Development and Human Rights sector. If you are thinking about further study, you can learn more about that, too. Over the course of the day, alumni will be talking to you about how their studies were useful to their careers and how they got to where they are. All panels will be moderated so many thanks to Professor John Naughton, Dr Sophie Roborgh, Dr Solava Ibrahim, Dr Joanna Page, Dr Pieter van Houten and Dr Iza Hussin for participating.
