Philosophy (MRes)

This MRes Philosophy offers research-based training in philosophy at post-Master's level and serves as a foundation for starting an individual PhD project. This programme 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. Students will be equipped with a firm philosophical grounding and mastery of complex, specialised areas of philosophical study, enabling them to engage critically and reflectively with current philosophical debates. Graduates go in to careers in management, politics, recruitment and journalism. Possible professions include further/higher education lecturer, secondary school teacher, or Civil Service fast streamer. This degree can also be useful in becoming a local government officer, marketing executive, or recruitment consultant.
