About Master of Arts - Philosophy (by Research)
Program Description
Nottingham Trent University is home to a modern philosophy department which concentrates on contemporary aspects of Philosophy with particular strengths in 20th Century Continental Philosophy, Philosophy of Everyday Life, Film and Philosophy, Ancient Philosophy and Philosophy of Religion.
The MA in Philosophy (by Research) is one of only a few MA courses that offers an advanced research MA which concentrates on numerous European philosophers and philosophical methodologies. The course equips students with the requisite skills in critical thinking and reflection, while familiarising them with the most current debates in contemporary philosophy.
This focus on the latest thinking will allow students to apply a philosophical mindset to tackle real issues happening in the world today. The philosophy department at Nottingham Trent University is a very open community. Students will have lots of access to the department's expert and supportive staff throughout the progress of their course.
The course has been designed to offer graduate students a thorough grounding in the key intellectual traditions that have defined contemporary philosophy. Through this course, students will enhance their level of understanding of the ideas, contexts and techniques required to philosophise in both academic and non-academic contexts.
Students may pursue a wide variety of self-devised research studying, but not limited to, the work of Wittgenstein, Husserl, Heidegger, Foucault, Deleuze and Derrida and focus on how the latest thinking is applied to real-world issues.

Students will consider fundamental issues which arise around the role and practical application of philosophy in the 20th Century. Students will be trained to critically assess the relevance of these philosophical methodologies in the wider context of economic, social, institutional, cultural, technological and particularly political changes taking place within the world today.
This will enable students to have a systematic understanding and knowledge of the following sub-topics and disciplinary themes:
- Aristotle, Descartes, Nietzsche;
- european philosophy; and
- phenomenology.
There is great flexibility in the way students can customize their own research, and their final award.
