Integrated Masters - Master of Philosophy - Philosophy (V599)

专业介绍

University of Essex takes philosophy back to its roots in everyday existential, social, and political problems. They embrace the relevance of philosophy to other forms of inquiry - political, cultural, legal, medical, aesthetic – and bring this to bear on urgent issues in public life, such as the controversial issues raised by mental health legislation or public policy regarding end of life care. This degree will feed students' intellectual curiosity and challenge their thinking. Students will acquire the skills required to dig deeper into ideas and question received wisdom. They’ll rigorously examine the most fundamental questions about human life.

In the four-year MPhilos Version of this course (five years if taking a year abroad or placement year), students will gain solid knowledge in the different areas of philosophy and develop the key skills of the discipline during their first three years at Essex. In their final year, students will take MA-level modules, which will allow them to investigate more advanced topics and write a draft journal article as their final project. They’ll cover a wide range of topics from the meaning of life to capitalism and its critics, from ancient philosophy to current trends in European thought.

The MA-level modules include: Kant, The Frankfurt School, Phenomenology and Existentialism, Environmental Ethics, Critical Theory, Topics in Contemporary Philosophy, and more.

The world of work is changing. Employers want graduates who can think laterally logically and creatively about practical problems and are effective communicators. At Essex, they are serious about providing students with a teaching environment in which they develop the skills they need to flourish in the discipline, and to be prepared for the jobs they aspire to in the future.

Philosophy graduates are therefore well-suited to a wide range of occupations, including law, PR, journalism and the media, the Civil Service, charity work, banking, and the NHS.
