The Master of Research (MRes) in Philosophy is a research-focused degree designed for those who want to explore philosophical ideas in depth while developing advanced research skills. This flexible, distance-learning programme allows you to study from anywhere while working closely with expert academics. The course is ideal for philosophy graduates who wish to deepen their understanding of the subject and develop a major research project. It also provides an excellent foundation for further study, particularly for those considering a PhD in Philosophy, as well as careers that require strong analytical and problem-solving skills. The MRes in Philosophy combines taught modules with independent research. You will complete 60 credits of taught coursework, where you will study key philosophical themes and learn essential research methods. These modules will help you build the knowledge and skills needed for the next stage of the course: a 120-credit dissertation, equivalent to 30,000 words. This research project allows you to explore a topic of your choice under the guidance of an experienced supervisor.
You need 2:2 honours degree or UWTSD recognised equivalent. Alternative entry routes - Postgraduate Certificate in Higher Education (PGCert). This is the first part of the full Masters degree. Once you have successfully completed your PGCert studies, you will be eligible to progress for the remainder of the Masters degree. These are ideal routes if you are returning to study after a gap, or if you have not previously studied this subject, or if you did not achieve the grades you need for a place on this degree.
