Getting into social policy

Does anyone know if it's possible / I'd have a good chance of being accepted onto a social policy masters with an undergraduate degree in philosophy? or getting into a social policy career generally with a philosophy degree.

The courses often say you need a degree in a social science or relevant subject, does philosophy count as a relevant subject?

Just wondered if anyone had an thoughts :smile:

A less usual, but not impossible transition I would have thought, especially if you have a few political philosophy modules in the first degree. It's probably worth emailing a few Universities you are interested in and see if a pattern emerges.
