Course content
The MRes degree is a research programme with some provision for taught modules. It is aimed at those who wish to move beyond undergraduate work and to engage in research in depth for a postgraduate thesis, but who also wish to take modules that help develop research and related skills. You take a Philosophical Research module and then choose two modules from:
- Philosophy of Language
- Philosophy of Cognitive Science
- Philosophy of Mind
- Metaphysics
- Epistemology
- God, Freedom, and the Meaning of Life
- Philosophy of Health and Happiness
- Value of Life
The MRes is a self-standing research programme; however many students treat it as preparatory for the PhD.
