The research Master's programme in Philosophy at Radboud University is the ideal place to acquire the training for a career in academic philosophy. As a student you will follow intensive Research Master’s courses, and will develop your methodological and academic skills during dedicated Research Methods and Skills seminars. Throughout your studies, you will participate in ongoing research activities and will be assigned a personal supervisor who will guide you as you acquire the skills necessary for a career in research. You can choose between four specialisations:
Metaphysics and Philosophical Anthropology
You will study ancient fundamental questions about ’existence’, the relationship between language and truth, and the essence of reality and explore philosophical questions about the nature of human beings from the perspective of continental philosophy.
Ethics and Political Philosophy
In this specialisation you will study moral conflicts and ethical issues in contemporary Western culture and how politics is a way of coping with these dilemmas.
The Human Mind and its Complexities
In this Philosophy Research master’s specialisation you will explore explicit connections to developments in cognitive neuroscience and linguistics and explore the richness of language and communication from a social and evolutionary perspective.
History of Philosophical and Scientific Thought
Philosophy and the sciences have interacted throughout history. Up to Newton and even Darwin, ‘science’ was in fact called ‘natural philosophy’. This Master’s specialisation covers the entire history of philosophy, from Antiquity to modern times, and combines it with the history and philosophy of science.
