Description

Programme description

Students write a thesis (approx. 70,000 words) that should make a contribution to philosophy. Supervision is provided by a team of experts in the students subject area.

Teaching and learning

Students meet regularly (on average, 1 hr every 2 weeks) with their supervisor. Each student has 2 supervisors. Twice a year, students have a review meeting which involves discussion of some of their work, submitted for the review panel, by their supervisors and a third member of staff. All students attend a non-assessed Research Seminar during term time, at which they present their research to their peers and staff.
