Philosophy and Politics are two highly important and complementary disciplines and you will study and debate a range of relevant contemporary issues with scholars at the forefront of their academic field. For example, what obligations do we have to the state? Can ideas change the world? How should we think about right and wrong, truth and falsity? Your degree will develop your ability to analyse and assess situations while also being able to communicate ideas effectively. These skills are in high demand among employers and open up a number of career paths for our students. Lancaster alumni can be found in professions such as law, journalism, computing consultancy, and local government. Others have diversified and made careers in fashion, nursing and journalism.
