MA Political Theory in York United Kingdom | University of York

What purpose does politics serve - to achieve genuine liberty and fairness for everyone, or to stop mass violence among people? What responsibilities do we have toward those in poverty worldwide? Should nations restrict immigration? How is authority distributed in democratic systems?
This program delves deeper into these subjects from multiple viewpoints. It leverages our globally-acclaimed expertise in analytical political philosophy, the history of ideas, and critical social theory.
Students are expected to participate in frequent research seminars featuring cutting-edge work in political theory, presented by faculty and distinguished visiting scholars from across the globe.
