At The Australian National University, PhD candidates join a dynamic research environment with exceptional support services. The institution's prestige plays a crucial role when choosing a research program, and ANU stands among the globe's top universities - making it an ideal selection for your academic journey.
Philosophy research at ANU excels across analytical, continental, and applied philosophy disciplines. Rarely do Australian universities provide such diverse opportunities for students to pursue their unique academic passions. Research areas span ethics, decision theory, philosophy of science, political philosophy, metaphysics, epistemology, European philosophical traditions, and specialized studies in aesthetics, cognition, and linguistics.
Applicants must present at a minimum, an Australian Honours degree or equivalent, with a result of H2A (Second Class Honours Division A), and the approval of an identified supervisor for the research project/thesis. Equivalence may be met by completion of a Master’s degree that includes a significant research component, or by a combination of qualifications and professional experience.
