About Master of Philosophical Studies - Philosophy

This course studies begin with a module on Kant and his legacy. Students then choose five optional modules. Choices include foundational texts and thinkers of the modern European tradition (Kant, Hegel, Marx, Nietzsche, Heidegger) and 20th- and 21st-century philosophy and critical theory, including psychoanalysis.

Students will prepare their dissertation (25,000–30,000 words), working closely with a supervisor, using a method of working modelled on PhD supervision, which provides excellent preparation for PhD study. They will attend philosophical research methods seminars and participate in reading groups related to their dissertation and interests.

This is the only MPhilStud in continental philosophy in the UK. Students will be able to study in more depth and with a more intense research focus than a one-year MA. They will be based at the UK's Centre for Research in Modern European Philosophy at Kingston University and be part of a large community of philosophy postgraduates. The course is delivered through relatively small seminars, which involve a mixture of structured lectures or presentations, textual analysis, and group discussion. Many of the graduates often progress to research degrees in European philosophy and critical theory.
