Postgraduate taught degrees
Postgraduate Study in Philosophy at Glasgow
Philosophy at Glasgow consists of a vibrant community of scholars tackling fundamental questions at the forefront of the limits of knowledge.
Our research-driven programmes will help prepare you for PhD study or a career in the public or private sectors. Our research expertise includes epistemology, philosophy of mind, and perception, history of analytic philosophy, logic, language and mathematics, metaphysics, moral and political philosophy.
You will benefit from an extraordinary amount of staff time and attention and are encouraged to informally exchange ideas with both staff and other students, and to attend and participate in many research seminars, workshops and conferences.
If you study with us you will also be following in the footsteps of past professors, who include such giants of empiricism as Adam Smith and Thomas Reid.
We offer three Philosophy Masters programmes, including a conversion option for those who don’t already have a degree in Philosophy. All degrees put you in a position to apply for the PhD in Philosophy.
