Why choose this course?

The MA Philosophy is designed to meet the needs of those who wish to explore philosophical issues either as a development of undergraduate study or following a first degree in suitable subject other than Philosophy. This carefully-focused programme both deepens students' earlier philosophical work and functions as a demanding but effective introduction to this fascinating subject.

What can I go on to do?

• Achieving a Masters degree in Philosophy demonstrates to an employer in any field your capacity to apply formal approaches to analysing complex and widely relevant issues: it is thus a highly transferable postgraduate qualification.
• The new programme will be useful to would-be A level Philosophy teachers, and may extend your career opportunities.
• The degree is a good foundation for further research, at Heythrop or elsewhere.
