Graduate Diploma - Philosophy

University of Essex - Colchester Campus

What you will study

Those who do not have the appropriate undergraduate preparation to embark directly on the MA Philosophy course, this nine-month Graduate Diploma in Philosophy is right for them. It constitutes a qualifying degree for the MA Philosophy.

Students can choose from the existing list of modules taught by enthusiastic, friendly and expert academics – such as modules on ethics, phenomenology and existentialism, feminism, philosophy of religion or contemporary political philosophy. At the end, students will be able to complete a capstone module, putting them into an excellent position for further study in Philosophy. At Essex, students have the freedom to study what most interests them.

Graduate Diploma consists of eight modules at 3rd-year undergraduate level (up to two of these can be at 2nd-year level). Students must complete the appropriate coursework and examinations and can also write a project on a topic of their choice if this is agreed with their course director.

Regardless of the topics students pursue, the university is committed to research-based teaching, with a particular emphasis on bringing the approaches of philosophy into contact with other disciplines and discourses.
