The MRes Philosophy degree is a 12-month taught programme tailored to developing your talents as an individual researcher, and building your relations with existing research staff and research groups in philosophy. In all areas of our distinctive research profile, we can offer supervision by established or emerging research leaders in the field.

Philosophy at UEA is a dynamic and friendly department with a distinctive research profile. We will provide 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 different areas of our work – guided always by your own interests and enthusiasms – before choosing a topic for your dissertation.

Our particular research strengths are varied and catholic they include work in philosophy of mind and language, political philosophy and philosophy of the social sciences, ethics, environmental philosophy and a range of methodological issues to do with different styles and approaches to the philosophical task. We encourage interdisciplinary work: at UEA we have a large concentration of experts working on the links between philosophy and literature and film, and on the borders of philosophy and linguistics, political science, environmental science, mathematics and economics, and classical studies/ancient science.

We enjoy excellent relationships with world-leading departments in these related areas (including literature and creative writing, politics and environmental sciences). As well as ancient philosophy, early modern philosophy, phenomenology and the history of analytic philosophy, we are a leading centre of excellence for research on Wittgenstein.

We host a rich programme of research seminars, including distinguished visiting speakers, a weekly graduate research workshop, and various specialist reading groups. These add to the vibrancy of Philosophy at UEA and make it easy for newcomers to blend into the research community, forming easy relations with the PhD students and postdoctoral researchers as well as academic staff.
