OVERVIEW
Loughborough University is associated with 20 academic departments as well as 100 research groups, institutes, and centers. Since 1966, it has been a public research university.
The campus of this university is located in a beautiful environment with high-quality facilities. Students will have spacious classrooms, libraries, well-equipped laboratories, lecture centers, accommodations, and other facilities.
Research is at the heart of the Institute for Diplomacy and International Governance (IDIG). If you are interested in addressing complex, international issues and developing your professional research skills, then pursuing a PhD in IDIG could be for you.
IDIG’s academics offer research expertise and experience in numerous aspects of the study of diplomacy and international governance. They are extremely well-networked with professionals outside of academia in their respective fields. In some cases, the Institute can provide joint supervisory arrangements with colleagues from other Loughborough University London institutes and from research teams based at Loughborough University’s East Midlands campus, for example the School of Social Sciences and Humanities.
The Institute’s aim is to create a vibrant, supportive, enthusiastic and forward-thinking research community where our academics and research students work closely together to examine solutions to real-world problems of diplomacy and international governance. The London campus facilitates easy access to decision-makers and practitioners of all kinds, as well as to the rich academic sources the capital has to offer.
