The Philosophy, Public Policy and Social Change route of the Philosophy MA will equip you with the skills to analyse complex ideas, develop independence of judgement and originality of thought, present views lucidly both orally and in writing, and question orthodox views. You may choose this route as a precursor to a career in NGOs, local, regional or central government, businesses or the charity sector, but these skills are important across all workplaces. In addition, this course provides a basis for graduates to boost their profile in engaged philosophy, should they wish to apply for a research degree.
