MA Philosophy

... United Kingdom
... Birkbeck University of London

Course Overview

Our MA Philosophy offers you postgraduate teaching in central aspects of Western philosophy in the broadly analytic tradition. The curriculum is research-led, with specialist modules taught by leading figures in their fields, and with a consistent focus on the fostering of intellectual curiosity and the development of independent thinking. This uniquely flexible program allows you to follow your own philosophical interests and provides a sound platform for those wishing to proceed to more advanced research work in philosophy. The MA Philosophy is open to those with a first degree in philosophy wishing to progress to more advanced levels of study and also to those without undergraduate training in philosophy. If you did not study philosophy as an undergraduate, you take a special route through the program. Graduates go into careers in management, politics, recruitment, and journalism. Possible professions include further/higher education lecturer, secondary school teacher, or Civil Service fast streamer. This degree can also be useful in becoming a local government officer, marketing executive, or recruitment consultant.

General Eligibility

At least a second-class honors degree (2:2), or equivalent, not necessarily in philosophy.
