MA Philosophy And Politics

Study key concepts in political philosophy through the lens of some of the most challenging issues of today.

This MA takes a radical and decolonised approach to philosophy. You will engage with a distinctive programme of contemporary radical theory and politics, and consider themes such as populism, climate change, gender oppression migration, neoliberalism, racism and decolonial struggles.

We offer a rich environment for critical theory and progressive political work; the University of Brighton is internationally recognised for its Centre for Applied Philosophy, Politics and Ethics which researches the links between philosophy, critical theory, global ethics and other disciplines.

We host regular conferences and workshops, visits from many of the theorists that you will read, and reading groups with PhD students.

You have the option to undertake a placement, preparing you for your future career, or the chance to prepare for doctoral research.

Our courses are reviewed and enhanced on an ongoing basis in order to make sure that what you learn with us is relevant and that your course enables you to develop appropriate skills. When you apply to study with us, we will inform you of any new developments in your chosen programme.
