Students who are particularly interested in the same topics as members of Philosophy would naturally be encouraged to apply to us in the first instance. Because there is no course-work for these advanced degrees, candidates are expected to be able to work in an independent, disciplined and directed way. They are free to choose and pursue their own topic, and encouraged and helped to produce original and scholarly work. ANU offers very good computer and shared office facilities for philosophy graduate students. Each student has a room and is provided with a computer with access to word-processing, printing, internet and email facilities.
Students have full access to the excellent libraries on campus.
From time to time there are also opportunities to make paid lecturing and tutorial contributions to Philosophy's undergraduate teaching programme. These, however, cannot be relied on as a source of income. Enquiries should be made to Dr Stoljar, Dr Campbell or Dr Ridge.
