The programme aims to enable students to develop a sophisticated understanding of topics of research and debate within the areas of Philosophy of Mind or Political Philosophy. Emphasis will be placed on providing students with research skills required for pursuing doctoral work and students will be encourged to participate in the seminars and workshops run by the AHRB project on Consciousness and Self Consciousness. A candidate is normally required to have graduated with at least an upper second class honours degree in Philosophy. Graduates in other subjects may be admitted to read for the degree of MA if they can show evidence that they would profit by a study of Philosophy at graduate level. The programme is divided into two independent streams, Philosophy of Mind and Political Philosophy.
Students also write a dissertation on an agreed topic.
