About Master of Arts - Philosophy and Contemporary Critical Theory (Professional Placement)

The course is distinctive through its study of contemporary critical theory traditions (including psychoanalytic theory, Marxism, feminist theory and critical race theory) together with foundational texts in modern European philosophy, notably by Kant, Hegel and Marx. This course is taught by leading specialists at the internationally renowned Centre for Research in Modern European Philosophy (CRMEP).

The course comprises one core module, three optional modules and a dissertation on a chosen topic. The core module examines the two main traditions of critical theory, the Frankfurt School and French anti-humanism, and the background of Kant, Hegel, Marx and 19th-century European philosophy more generally.

Students can attend and participate in a range of events, such as research with visiting international speakers, departmental lectures, workshops and research seminars. They will have easy access to London's research libraries and other events. The course is delivered through relatively small seminars, which involve a mixture of structured lectures or presentations, textual analysis, and group discussion.

Kingston University allow students to do a 12-month work placement as part of their course. The responsibility for finding the work placement is with the student; the university cannot guarantee the work placement, just the opportunity to undertake it. As the work placement is an assessed part of the course, it is covered by a student's Student Route visa.

Graduates often progress to research degrees in European philosophy and critical theory, or to careers in media/journalism, publishing, the arts, education, and public policy.
