MA by Research Philosophy

The MA by Research in Philosophy provides a supportive academic environment in which to conduct in-depth postgraduate study for one year, offering interested students research opportunities in philosophy and the history of philosophy. It prepares students to embark on further study at the doctoral level, as well as for careers in teaching, journalism, law, and the civil service, amongst many other fields.

Philosophy at Lincoln promotes the development of a stimulating research environment within which our postgraduate community plays a central role. Initiatives such as research seminars with internal speakers and visiting academics aim to foster cross-disciplinary debates and collaboration, as well as providing opportunities for career development.

Research students will benefit from a broad range of research expertise offered by our Philosophy staff. Our interests include:

- Metaphysics
- Philosophy of Mind
- Ethics
- Animal Ethics
- Philosophy of Religion
- History of Philosophy

We foster academic links within and beyond the University of Lincoln through welcoming external speakers, hosting international conferences, and contributing to national and international research networks and projects.
