This Masters in Philosophy of Mind and Psychology (Conversion) engages with issues in the nature of the mind at the intersection of Philosophy and Psychology. It is specifically designed for students who wish to pursue a philosophy track but who do not have an undergraduate degree in Philosophy. A key strength of this programme is its blend of courses from both Philosophy and Psychology, while maintaining in-depth training in Analytic Philosophy. If you wish, this Masters can provide you with a fast-track into a PhD in Philosophy.

WHY THIS PROGRAMME

Courses reflect up-to-date research, drawing upon staff expertise in philosophy and psychology of mind and perception, combined with core training in Analytic Philosophy.

Students will participate in the ongoing PPN (Philosophy, Psychology, Neuroscience) seminar series.

If you want to do a PhD in Philosophy of Mind but don't already have a Philosophy degree, then the MSc (Conversion) will allow you to apply straight away for the PhD in Philosophy.

You will participate in ongoing research activities in Philosophy, Psychology, and the Centre for the Study of Perceptual Experience - a world-class perceptual research centre.

Philosophy at the University has an illustrious history of original thinkers going against the grain of orthodoxy. Its past professors include such giants of empiricism as Adam Smith and Thomas Reid.

CAREER PROSPECTS

This programme provides students with rigorous and personalised training in problem solving, writing, presentation and research. These invaluable skills can be applied in a wide range of careers, including journalism, teaching, the Civil Service, local government, business, publishing, law, and the arts. It also provides students with an exceptional foundation for doctoral level research.

You will also be well equipped to carry onto a further degree in philosophy such as the PhD.
