Course Description

Time, freedom and what it means to be human. Philosophy has never shied away from tackling the big questions in life.

Through our Continental Philosophy MA, you will have a fascinating introduction to key figures and philosophical movements that shaped thinking on fundamental issues. They include Kant, Hegel, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Arendt, Bergson, Deleuze and Foucault.

You’ll gain a thorough grounding in the European tradition of philosophy, which inspired a series of movements spanning several centuries. It will include developing an advanced understanding of phenomenology, existentialism, hermeneutics, critical theory, vitalism, deconstruction and the engagement of philosophy with the sciences.

You’ll plot a path through these hugely influential developments and will get to specialise in your own area of interest. It will include delving into research for a dissertation.

Our students choose a wide range of topics for these projects, with some focusing on a particular philosopher or problem.

Entry Requirements
