KCL’s MA History of Philosophy (Postgraduate Taught
Programme)
Overview: aims of the programme
The MA in the History of Philosophy
involves one year's full-time study, or two years' part-time. It is a 'taught'
Master's programme, with each module following a fixed syllabus, as opposed to
a 'research' degree. With the possible exception of the dissertation at the end
of the programme, original research is not really expected: but the MA may act
as a preliminary to a subsequent research programme, normally a PhD. The
programme is primarily intended for those students who have already studied
Philosophy as undergraduates, and who now want to focus more narrowly on its
history; although occasionally students might be admitted who do not have a
Philosophy background.
Taught modules - requirements
Students must earn a total of 180 credits,
of which 120 will come from taught modules. At least 140 credits (including the
dissertation—see below) must be earned through work done in the History of
Philosophy; and students will normally be expected to study a language relevant
to their philosophical interests, such as French or German, Latin or ancient
Greek. The modules that, for these purposes, are treated as belonging to the
History of Philosophy are as follows:（僅列出古希臘哲學相關課程）
