About

In the most recent Research Excellence Framework (REF 2021) we were ranked 6th in the UK and joint 1st for the real world impact of our research

You'll have the opportunity to develop your own independent research project supported by your academic supervisor. In addition to these one-to-one supervisions, you'll present and discuss your work at a weekly postgraduate research seminar.

You'll also be able to develop your research and employability skills through our Skills Development Training Programme.

As a department we run staff-postgraduate reading groups, visiting speaker seminars, workshops, conferences and masterclasses. We have hosted the British Society for Ethical Theory annual conference, the British Postgraduate Philosophical Association annual conference, the British Wittgenstein Society Annual Conference and the British Society for Aesthetics graduate conference. You'll be encouraged to take an active role in all of these events.

When you join as a postgraduate you'll become a member of our humanities graduate school. This provides additional help and support, connections to funding opportunities as well as student-led activities and social networking.

Career opportunities are wide ranging and varied. Your PhD is an excellent preparation for an academic career. The transferable skills you'll develop are valuable for a wide range of professions which include teaching, arts administration, journalism and local and national government administration.

Assessment methods (Outcome qualification level): Progression reviews at fixed points during candidature, thesis and viva, voce (oral exam).
