Explore your passion for Philosophy through our comprehensive MA program, offered by the UK's top-ranked Philosophy department.
What defines free will? Are moral principles absolute? Could time travel become reality? Is worldwide equality attainable? How do we validate religious convictions? Can machines develop awareness? Philosophy systematically examines these profound questions about our universe and human existence.
Investigate life's greatest mysteries while focusing on your preferred philosophical specialization through diverse course options. Our curriculum covers: cognitive science and philosophy of mind, ethical theories and global morality, knowledge theory and metaphysics, linguistic philosophy, and philosophies of wellness and contentment.
Our MA Philosophy students learn from a dynamic faculty of philosophers engaged in cutting-edge research across numerous disciplines, with ample opportunities for specialized guidance. This program also serves as an excellent foundation for doctoral studies.

Qualification Requirements
The programme allows for multi-disciplinary entry. You need an upper second-class Honours degree, or equivalent, preferably in Philosophy or another relevant subject, or a Joint Honours degree of which Philosophy or another relevant subject is a component.
If your undergraduate degree is in another subject, you are still very welcome to apply. We consider every application on its merits and we are happy to consider applicants with diverse academic backgrounds. Your level of academic achievement, letters of reference, and personal statement will all have strong influence on our decision. We may also require you to submit a writing sample. This should be around 3-4 pages long, and although it does not need to be a Philosophy essay, it should provide strong evidence of your potential for the type of discursive, analytical, writing that is required in Philosophy at postgraduate level.
IELTS 6.5 with no less than 6.0 in any band is equivalent to:
TOEFL: 88 overall with no less than 21 in Reading, 20 Listening, 22 Speaking and 21 in Writing
