Master of Arts in Philosophy

PROGRAMME OUTLINE

The MA in Philosophy is a 24-credit programme consisting of six 3-credit taught courses and a 6-credit Research Paper. Students may be admitted, subject to the demand for courses and staff availability, on full-time or part-time basis. Courses may be offered in each of the two semesters and/or in the summer again, subject to student demand and staff availability.

A full-time student would be required to do 18credits of taught MA courses in the year, begin the Research Paper in Semester 2, and complete by the end of summer.

For Part-time students, there is a requirement to do a minimum of 6-credits peryear, inclusive of the summer. Students are also required to enrol for and pass the year-long, non-credit Seminar Course PHIL3099 (Research in Philosophy), if they have not done this or its equivalent in their Undergraduate programme.
