哲学 MPhil Philosophy

This full-time MPhil introduces students to the skills needed for philosophical research. Students work with supervisors to write two research essays—the first up to 4,000 words, the second up to 8,000 words—and a dissertation of up to 12,000 words. Students participate in a collaborative weekly seminar during the Michaelmas and Lent terms, developing presentation and discussion skills by presenting their own research and engaging with peers. The programme provides thorough training in philosophical methodology, enabling students to demonstrate originality in knowledge application and critical evaluation of research. The Faculty of Philosophy hosts a vibrant community of researchers across all major philosophical traditions and subdisciplines.
