Course content
This degree course offers you enormous freedom as you develop a deeper understanding of philosophy. Whether your first degree was in philosophy or you are transitioning from another discipline, this degree will develop your philosophical understanding and enhance your research skills.
Our extensive range of optional modules allows you to focus on a particular area of philosophy in great detail, or to explore widely across the discipline.
Our MA, which can be full- or part-time, is designed both to prepare students who wish to continue to a PhD (as many do), and to provide skills and knowledge to enhance career prospects outside of academia.
