Applications for 2013 Entry
Keele University invites applications for its postgraduate
programmes in Philosophy. There are several options:
- MRes, MPhil and PhD in Philosophy;
- MA in Human Rights, Globalisation and Justice.
The MRes is a combination of taught- and research-based modules. The
MPhil is a one-year research degree with an element of research
training which will enable students to write an extensive thesis on
a topic of their choice. The MA in Human Rights, Globalisation and
Justice is a taught MA. The MRes, MPhil and MA can be taken either
for their own sake or as a basis for a PhD.
The postgraduate degrees are designed to be closely tailored to the
students' research interests. We have research strengths in all the
main areas of Philosophy, with particular expertise in the following
areas: Kantian Philosophy, Philosophy of mind and action; history of
philosophy; political philosophy; environmental philosophy;
metaphilosophy; metaphysics; moral philosophy, in particular
normative ethics and metaethics.
About Keele: Philosophy at Keele offers a lively and friendly
research environment with a strong and growing postgraduate
community. Postgraduate students at all levels are encouraged to
attend the activities organised by the Keele Forum for Philosophical
Research. These include the Keele Forum for Philosophical Research
'Jean-Jacques Rousseau' Annual Lecture and Conference, the Royal
Institute of Philosophy Invited Lectures, Postgraduate Research
Seminars, reading groups, special lectures and other events
organised by the Research Centre for SPIRE (School of Politics,
Philosophy, International Relations and the Environment).
There is also a thriving student-led Philosophy Society who hold
regular debates and film screenings. All postgraduate students are
part of the Research Institutes for Humanities and Social Sciences,
and benefit from its facilities, including a new dedicated research
building.
