Program Overview

The PhD course offers close supervision and extensive training, and is the standard entrance to the academic profession. The Faculty welcomes applications for this degree in a wide range of philosophical areas. The PhD culminates in the production of a thesis of up to 80,000 words, to be submitted between three and four years from the commencement of study for full-time study. The PhD may also be done part-time, in which case the deadline for completion will be a minimum of five and a maximum of seven years. An oral examination will be conducted on the subject of the thesis and on the general field of knowledge within which it falls.

Entry Requirement
- Applicants for this course should have achieved a UK Masters (Merit).
- Your undergraduate degree must include the equivalent of two years' full-time study in philosophy (10 full courses in the US system). We normally expect a first class degree or the international equivalent, but you may also apply if you have graduated with a good upper second class degree (at least 67%) or the equivalent (US GPA at least 3.6/4), provided that other aspects of your application (such as dissertation marks) show a strong aptitude for further work in philosophy.
- You must also have or expect to obtain a Master's degree at or close to Distinction level in philosophy or a cognate discipline directly relevant to your proposed philosophical research.
