These are usually augmented by Teaching and Research Assistantships funded by the Faculty of Arts. The normal requirement for admission to the programme is a first class degree in Philosophy or the equivalent. Students with strong combinations of Philosophy and related disciplines can also be considered for admission. Programmes are sometimes arranged to include some undergraduate work in areas not already covered in earlier academic experience. Candidates for admission are encouraged to apply not later than four months before the commencement of Fall or Winter semester.
Applications have to be accompanied by three academic references.
