This Philosophy programme at Birkbeck, University of London gives students the opportunity to interact with renowned philosophers covering broad areas of the discipline and to undertake their own research in an internationally excellent, research-intensive department. This MRes is ideal for self-motivated, committed students who already have a good philosophy qualification and wish to progress to pure research in some area of the subject.
The course will give students a firm philosophical grounding and mastery of complex, specialised areas of philosophical study, enabling students to engage critically and reflectively with current philosophical debates. Students will also be equipped with the essential research skills they need to proceed to PhD research. Students will complete a substantial supervised research project in a shorter time than that required for a PhD.
