Careers for Philosophy and Politics MA (Hons)

Our Philosophy graduates have gone on to postgraduate study and worked in a wide variety of careers including:

• publishing
• social work
• education
• the music industry
• civil service

While you may not become a politician (though many of our students over the years have: as MPs, MSPs and MEPs), your degree will open up a range of opportunities in both the private and public sectors.

In other words, the skills - personal, verbal and written - that you will acquire can be easily transferred to many walks of life. We have produced leading journalists, civil servants, diplomats - and even the occasional secret agent!
