MA Philosophy and Politics

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.

Careers

Following the MA, you may continue to academic study or pursue a career in a field such as education, politics, journalism, public policy, non-governmental organisations and law.
