MA in Philosophy in Burnaby Canada | Simon Fraser University

The Philosophy Department at SFU provides a two-year, course-focused program designed for students planning to pursue a PhD in philosophy. This program helps build a solid philosophical groundwork within a dynamic and encouraging North American academic environment. Our students often come with varied backgrounds—some may have minimal prior philosophy coursework, others may arrive from international institutions or different philosophical schools, while some might have uneven academic records that could benefit from demonstrating strong graduate-level performance.

Our goal is to prepare students optimally for applying to PhD programs aligned with their aspirations. We also assist those who remain uncertain about committing to academic philosophy, offering them a structured environment to explore this path further.
