You need to decide what you want to do . I mean , no one here can help you decide what field you want to study . You ' ve asked strangers , when really you should be asking people closer to you , who know you better , who understand your passions and your drives . If you want to do politics , I would shy away from a master ' s of philosophy , but that ' s a personal leaning . From there , I think you need to start considering what you want to get out of your master ' s degree , and that will probably help you make a choice . Are you looking for a taught program that will involve heavier coursework and inclass learning ? Do you want more research based ? If so , what are you interested in researching ? If you ' re aiming for academia , you need to determine which master ' s your research interests best align with .
