Students on the MPhil follow an approved programme of research supervised by a member of academic staff and informed by a Thesis Advisory Panel. Alongside this academic support, students are supported by a programme of training in research methods and transferable skills. Students are assessed solely based on their research, which must include original work, by at least two individually appointed examiners, one of whom will be external to the University.
The programmes are assessed solely on the student's thesis. The requirements for the lengths of the theses are as follows: minimum 40,000 words and maximum 60.000 words.
Members of the Department have research interests in Aesthetics, art and literature; History of philosophy (with particular interests in early modern philosophy and German idealism); Metaphysics (including philosophy of mathematics and philosophy of time); Phenomenology and continental philosophy; Philosophy of medicine and health; Philosophy of mind and perception; Philosophy of religion; Political and legal philosophy; and Theoretical and applied ethics (including ethics of AI).
Typically you’ll need at least the equivalent to a UK upper second-class (2:1) honours degree and, in some cases, a Masters degree. Actual requirements vary by course.
