Integrated Masters - Master of Arts (Honours) - Philosophy and International Relations

At Levels 1 and 2 students will receive a grounding in ancient and modern philosophy and be introduced to fundamental ideas concerning ethics, epistemology (the nature of knowledge) and metaphysics (the nature of reality). Students then specialize in Levels 3 and 4 in areas that suit their own interests.

Conflict, cooperation, and the increased significance of non-state actors are all hallmarks of the world today. By studying International Relations students will develop skills and tools to make sense of these complex interrelationships. The MA degree means students study Politics alongside other subjects from History to Geography, languages to Psychology. At Levels 3 and 4 they will be able to specialize.
