Overview

Answering questions such as how to make democratic decision-making fair or examining the nature of political justification in a diverse and evolving society are just two of the many complex topics explored by students pursuing a master's degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics. The one- to two-year interdisciplinary program encourages you to look at the philosophical underpinnings of modern economics and study the way that tools from the social sciences can address concerns in political philosophy and politics. Our faculty are the world's leading scholars in their respective fields - from political scientists to philosophers to economists.
