About Philosophy, MA - at University of Sheffield

Engage with cutting edge philosophical research and master the foundations of the discipline across its different traditions. Our Philosophy MA allows you to pursue your particular philosophical interests while honing your research skills and enhancing your career prospects.

Whether your first degree was in philosophy or you are transitioning from another discipline, this degree will develop your philosophical understanding and enhance your research skills.

Our Philosophy MA is designed to offer a coherent but flexible programme of study, with modules and topics complementing each other to support specialisation - all while ensuring a strong foundation for career success.

You’ll get to grips with philosophy at its most forward looking, and immerse yourself in one or more methodological traditions. Optional modules cover both theoretical and practical philosophy, giving you the opportunity to specialise in political theory.

You’ll sharpen your arguments and critical thinking skills as you engage in debates over pressing real world issues, and on deep conceptual questions relating to thought, language, knowledge and the ultimate nature of reality.
