Our MA is designed equally to prepare students who wish to continue to a PhD in Philosophy of Cognitive Science (as many do), to help transition to or between disciplines in Cognitive Science, or to enhance career prospects outside of academia.
We offer support and advice for students who decide to apply for a PhD and our postgraduate training seminars include sessions on PhD funding and on non-academic jobs for philosophers.
For those interested in non-academic career routes, this degree will help you develop and enhance a range of crucial transferable skills (for example, research writing, project organisation, critical thinking) while developing a deeper understanding of any of a wide range of aspects of minds and cognition.
