The Grad Dip in Philosophy and Public Affairs is especially designed for those people with an interest in public policy debates, e.g. in journalism, the civil service, public policy research institutes, etc.. At the same time, it will be useful for any job requiring a subtle understanding of debate and disagreement, or requiring close attention to texts.
- Unique combination of philosophy and social science
- Close attention from dissertation supervisor

It is very difficult to generalize about the career paths of our MA graduates. A small number continue into PhD program both at UCD and abroad. Others have gone into journalism, the civil service, secondary school teaching, NGOs, think tanks and the corporate world.
