Course location
This course is run by the Department of Philosophy.
You'll be based in the Department of Philosophy on Campus West, though your research may take you further afield.
Entry requirements
For research degrees, you'll need to hold a first or high 2:1 undergraduate honours degree in philosophy, or equivalent.
Other relevant experience and expertise may also be considered:
- Evidence of training in research techniques may be an advantage.
- You should be familiar with the recent published work of your proposed supervisor.
- Publications are not required and we don't expect applicants to have been published before they start their research degrees.
Supervisors interview prospective research students to ensure a good supervisory match and to help with funding applications. Most interviews take place via Zoom.
