Political Philosophy and PPE (Double Degree master)

Do you wish to gain an interdisciplinary perspective to better understand how to address major societal changes? Then combine this PPE perspective with research in political philosophy.

Climate change, populism, deepening inequality: our world today faces many complex challenges that cannot be tackled by one discipline, only by cutting across boundaries. At the Faculty of Philosophy, the selective one-year MSc in Philosophy, Politics and Economics will equip you with the central theoretical and methodological tools to understand complex problems and assess proposals to address them. For example, you will delve into theories of democracy, rational choice, evidence-based policy, social justice, inequality and economic growth, applying theoretical insights to concrete policy problems.

At the Universitat Pompeu Fabra Barcelona (UPF), you will work with experts in political philosophy and take courses that lay a solid foundation in political philosophy and courses to sharpen your own research specialization. At the end of the programme, you will write a thesis supervised by researchers from both UPF and the UG. It is possible to take your first year in Groningen and your second year in Barcelona or the other way around.
