Applying to the MA Program


The normal requirement for admission to the program is a first-class degree in Philosophy (normally an honours degree) or the equivalent.

Students with strong combinations of Philosophy and related disciplines can also be considered for admission.

Programs are sometimes arranged to include some undergraduate work in areas not already covered in earlier academic experience.
