My time at the LSE was incredible. To live in London is a lifetime experience, but especially if you are doing something you love. The MSc in Philosophy and Public Policy (PPP) was exactly what I was looking for. After six years working on education, and in the middle of years of public debate in Chile, I decided that […]

I would strongly recommend the MSc Philosophy and Public Policy [PPP] to anyone who wants to drill public policy issues down to their philosophical foundations. In my job as a policy officer the PPP programme still provides a guide to clear my thinking and ask the relevant (often-forgotten) moral questions.

The programme is interdisciplinary with a clear conceptual core. The […]

Studying Philosophy and Public Policy at the LSE has been an amazing and rewarding experience. I have enjoyed being surrounded by inspiring and ambitious people as well as being part of a small faculty where professors are approachable and supportive. The programme has taught me to apply moral and political philosophical perspectives underlying public policy debates across multiple policy […]

The time I spent studying MSc in Philosophy and Public Policy at the LSE has been both pleasant and rewarding. I thoroughly enjoyed the wide range of literatures that I was exposed to, as well as the inspiring philosophical discussions I had with professors and fellow classmates. I was constantly impressed and inspired by the academic rigor here.  Yet […]

I’ve currently accept the offer to the graduate training program at London-based Financial PR and Investor Relations firm Abchurch Communications. I mainly work with Asian clients who wish to seek investors in London, and to ensure that their Financial PR, Corporate Communications and Investor Relations are accessible to a wider audience. My long term goal is to bring the […]

I thoroughly enjoyed my PPP studies at the LSE. I came from a different background (Literature), but rather than a hindrance, it made the whole experience even more enriching for me. It’s been great to engage in applied philosophical thinking, as it enhanced my analytical skills at the ideal and non-ideal level alike.

I now am a finance trainee for […]

Before moving to London, I studied politics and law and practised as a lawyer in Australia for three and a half years. I chose the MSc in Philosophy and Public Policy because I wanted a stronger applied-philosophical grounding in order to move into a research- and policy-oriented career focused on the design and normative evaluation of public policy and […]

After completing the Master’s programme in philosophy and public policy, I resumed work at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, where I am involved in strategic planning and performance management. I am very happy that I did the programme. It has exposed me to new and interesting ideas, concepts and perspectives, and at times, forced me to step […]

After finishing my Dissertation in September 2012 I moved to New York to look for work and ended up doing temp work for a small tech company while applying and interviewing for full-time jobs. In January I was very fortunate to get a full time offer from Bain & Company’s London office. I’m certain that doing well […]
