Students in this master’s programme follow three courses (each 10 EC) and they also complete the following compulsory elements: a supervised literature study in the area of the master’s thesis (10 EC), and the master’s thesis (20 EC).
The subjects of the MA courses on offer are varying yearly. The choice may be made from the courses listed below, arranged by specialisation. At least two courses, as well as the subjects of the literature study and the master’s thesis, must belong to the chosen field of specialisation. Please note that courses may be part of two different fields of specialisation.
Students of the part-time programme spread the components over three semesters. In the first and second semesters students are expected to follow three MA courses and they also conduct their supervised literature study. In the third semester, students write their master’s thesis.
The thesis for the Master’s programme in Philosophy has a workload of 20 ECs, and the length of the thesis is normally approximately 20,000 words. Depending on the subject, the student and the supervisor may agree on a different length. Other formal requirements that the thesis must satisfy are listed in the Protocol Graduation Phase MA in Philosophy.
