The MA in Philosophy provides comprehensive training in essential philosophical research methods while enabling you to delve deeply into your specific areas of interest.
Bristol's philosophy department is consistently ranked among the UK's top ten by both the Philosophical Gourmet Report and QS University Rankings. Our faculty members bring expertise across numerous philosophical disciplines.
Tailor your studies by selecting from seven specialized pathways, each focusing on important contemporary philosophical fields:
Ethics
Epistemology and Metaphysics
Logic and Philosophy of Mathematics
Philosophy and History of Science
Philosophy of Biological and Cognitive Sciences
Philosophy of Physics
Political Philosophy
Every pathway includes required courses that build specialized knowledge in your chosen philosophical domain. The dissertation component allows for extended original research on a self-selected topic, supported by faculty supervision. You'll gain profound understanding of philosophical concepts and enhance your ability to analyze philosophical arguments critically.
As part of our vibrant research community, you'll participate in departmental activities such as seminars, workshops, and discussion groups. A weekly postgraduate seminar offers additional opportunities for intellectual exchange in a welcoming atmosphere.

Qualification Requirements
An upper second-class honours degree (or international equivalent) with a minimum average of 65%. Applications will be considered with any undergraduate degree. Many students gain admission to our programme with prior training in philosophy. However, the pathways within our programme also make it particularly suited to students with non-philosophy backgrounds (e.g. physics for the Philosophy of Physics pathway, maths for the Logic and Philosophy of Mathematics pathway, psychology or biology for the Philosophy of Biological and Cognitive Sciences pathway, or politics or sociology for the Political Philosophy pathway). If your degree is not in philosophy, we may ask you to provide a sample of your writing to demonstrate writing and research capability.
