About our programmes
Philosophy research at Hull covers an unusually rich variety of areas, ranging from Plato and Nietzsche, through to contemporary aesthetics, gender theory, philosophy of mind and body, moral philosophy and legal theory. In applied philosophy, focal areas include: ethics, education and health. Our interests span many traditions and diverse approaches to philosophical issues..
The PhD is aimed at outstanding students who wish to pursue advanced research in philosophy and ultimately to become professional researchers in, and teachers of, philosophy. Students produce a maximum 80, 000 word thesis that can provide the basis for professional publication.
For entry onto the PhD programme in Philosophy, you should normally have or expect to obtain a Master’s degree at merit or 60% and above (or international equivalent) in philosophy, although applications with different disciplinary backgrounds (including the sciences) will be considered on their individual merits.
