Want to get the inside view of how democratic institutions are designed, created and operated? Join our MSc in Democracy and Comparative Politics to examine and compare structures, practices and challenges of domestic politics around the world. Part of a global cohort, you will share ideas and insights and learn from UCL’s renowned Political Science academics. Excellent preparation for work in government policy, non-governmental organisations or the private sector.
You will gain the theoretical tools and empirical evidence necessary for an in-depth understanding of democratic institutions and politics. You develop an understanding of the potential benefits and pitfalls of different institutional designs, reforms, and administrative practices, and will be able to analyse problems raised by new and reforming democracies. We also examine some of the control structures of autocratic regimes, and processes of democratic backsliding in both old and new democracies.
