Summary
SPT is an inter- and multidisciplinary Master’s degree in which a number of UCD Schools participate (Sociology, Philosophy, Geography, History, Music, and Politics and IR).
Thinking about social and political issues and problems doesn’t stop at disciplinary boundaries. The MA in Social and Political Thought harvests the benefits that come with a more openly structured, interdisciplinary approach that is based on a wider contextual appreciation of political and social ideas. It will provide students with a deeper understanding of how ideas play out in practice and develop the knowledge base and critical skills required to think beyond disciplinary boundaries when addressing contemporary social and political problems.
