SPIRe Alumni
Every year, more than 250 students graduate from our undergraduate programmes, and over 100 students graduate from our diverse array of master programmes.
We have thousands of alumni that are spread across the globe with expertise in political data science, political economy, international security, gender and conflict, European public affairs, and much more.
We consider this global network a crucial part of the SPIRe scholarly community, and an international family that we value and cherish.
Our alumni work in diverse professional fields that range from the civil service, international diplomacy, technology and finance, education, media, communications, regulatory bodies, parliaments, and non-governmental organisations.
For us, it is essential that we keep in touch with this global network. It allows us to understand the changing expectations of employers, maintain personal relations, and create professional networks for our growing number of students.
