The MA (Hons) in Philosophy introduces you to key ideas from major thinkers throughout philosophical history. This program equips you with tools for evaluating arguments critically and independently. Philosophy studies develop essential abilities in analytical thinking, constructive criticism, and principled discussion. Offered by the Department of Philosophy, this four-year degree emphasizes rigorous reading comprehension and develops precise thinking and writing skills essential for philosophical work. During the initial two years (sub-honours), you'll examine foundational philosophical texts and explore core philosophical questions spanning from ancient Greek thought to contemporary debates, addressing both theoretical and practical issues. This foundation prepares you for advanced honors-level study.
