Philosophy (Public Policy) MA

University of Liverpool

You will learn how philosophical theory and analysis can be used to understand and shape public policy, scientific practice and as a force for social and political change. Through your compulsory modules, you will be introduced to philosophical critiques of society, and of particularly important social institutions, such as science, thereby learning to better understand the world in which we live. You will develop the tools to apply knowledge for use in public life while gaining a solid foundation for postgraduate research in philosophy or the social sciences. Through a series of optional modules, you will have access to a wide range of philosophical topics which will further enhance your studies and your personal perspective on social issues.
