Course Overview

Birkbeck's interdisciplinary MSc in Politics, Philosophy, and Economics introduces you to the basics of the three subjects and it will hone your ability to understand, evaluate and analyze real-world information. The study of philosophy will introduce you to critical reasoning and some of the most profound questions it is possible to ask about humanity. The study of politics will acquaint you with modern governing structures in the UK, EU, and further afield and with the concepts and ideas that underpin the theory and practice of politics. The study of economics will help you grasp how business, finance, and politics intersect and determine how we live and work.

You can choose from a wide range of option modules and your learning will be informed by the cutting-edge research and expertise of academics across three distinguished departments at Birkbeck: Economics, Mathematics, and Statistics; Philosophy; and Politics.

  • Graduates can pursue career paths in:

  • the Civil Service

  • journalism

  • politics

  • International development

  • think tanks.

We offer a comprehensive Careers Service - Birkbeck Futures - your career partner during your time at Birkbeck and beyond. At every stage of your career journey, we empower you to take ownership of your future, helping you to make the connection between your experience, education, and future ambitions.
