The MRes Philosophy degree is a 12 month taught programme tailored individually to developing your talents as a researcher, and building your relations with existing research staff and research groups in Philosophy. The aim is to prepare students for independent research, and to allow them time and space for finding a topic for further research, especially with a view to applying for the PhD. Since the programme is particularly geared to developing your independence, initiative, personal time management, and ability to work with a mentor, it also provides an excellent preparation for many kinds of high-powered graduate careers and graduate training schemes. Philosophy at UEA is a dynamic and friendly department with a distinctive research profile. It provides an ideal environment in which your philosophical research can be nurtured and your philosophical voice can emerge. The MRes degree enables you to work on taught essay modules with more than one member of staff and to sample more than one area of our work—guided always by your own interests and enthusiasms, before choosing a topic for your dissertation.
