Summary
Explore the intersections of law, ethics and politics, examining key debates from multiple perspectives. Learn about issues such as international human rights, global crime, global justice, international relations, and terrorism in a unique programme that brings together three subject areas.
Ideal for anyone looking to enhance their career or pursue a PhD, you'll broaden your understanding of global issues such as poverty reduction, international trade and climate change.
Explore ethical challenges in the legal world and political spheres alongside experts from law, philosophy and political science. Learn from a range of perspectives, studying with researchers working across subject boundaries. Mix academic theory with opportunities to gain practical experience working on real world problems.

Explore current issues through a range of perspectives, from philosophy to law and political science, learning from experts in each area.
-
Kickstart your career and gain real-world experience with our practice-based dissertation option. You'll spend time at an NGO or policy-based organisation, working alongside industry professionals to develop a practical response to a real-world challenge.
-
Flexible range of modules - build your degree around your interests.
| Level | RQF Level 7 |
|---|---|
| Entry requirements | You should have, or expect to get, a 2:1 Honours degree in Law, Philosophy, Politics or another relevant subject. Appropriate work experience will also be taken into consideration. If your undergraduate degree is in another subject, you can still apply. We consider every application on its merits, and we’ll consider applicants from diverse academic backgrounds. We also encourage you to submit a writing sample, especially in you've studied a non-humanities degree. This should be around 1500 words. Although it doesn't need to be a Philosophy, Law or Politics essay, it should provide strong evidence of your potential for the type of discursive, analytical, writing that is required in these disciplines at postgraduate level. If you have been out of academia for some time, we will accept a professional reference and one academic reference, rather than the standard requirement for two academic references. |
