Course Overview

This programme draws on our long-established strengths in Continental Philosophy. It is distinctive in offering an unusually broad range of module options specifically in this area of philosophy covering 19th and 20th century Continental Philosophy major figures and themes as well as more specialised or less mainstream topics. Because of the breadth of our expertise in this area whichever module option you choose you will be taught by world leaders in their respective fields.

Teaching

On this course you will follow a programme of taught modules followed by a 10000 word dissertation. You will cover 6 modules - although your exact pathway will depend on your selection of core and optional modules. We offer a wide range of optional modules reflecting the great breadth of research areas we have in our department so you will be able to tailor your course to your interests and aspirations. You will have a personal tutor who will be able to advise you on your academic progress as well as discuss aspects such as which modules are best for you.

For taught components there are typically 2 hours of teaching per module per week with seminars ranging in size from 8-20.

Assessment

You will submit assessed essays during the academic terms. You will also begin planning your dissertation and generally you will undertake your supervision sessions for this with your agreed supervisor during the summer term. As long as you pass your taught components you will then focus on completion of your MA dissertation in the summer months of July and August.
