Our MA is designed equally to prepare students who wish to continue to a PhD in Political Theory or a related area (as many do) or to enhance career prospects outside of academia. We offer support and advice for students who decide to apply for a PhD and our postgraduate training seminars include sessions on PhD funding and on non-academic jobs for philosophers.
For those interested in non-academic career routes, studying political theory will help you develop and enhance a range of crucial transferable skills (for example, research writing, project organization, critical thinking) while also helping you to think more deeply about the political questions you confront in your work or social life.
Our graduates work in teaching, law, social work, computing, the civil service, journalism, paid charity work, business, insurance and accountancy.
