Overview
The MA Philosophy course from The University of Manchester combines:
- in-depth study of specialised areas of analytical philosophy;
- extensive research training to provide the skills necessary to complete a master's dissertation and;
- a dissertation supervised by a member of staff with expertise in the area you wish to study in more depth.
