PhD Philosophy
The School of History and Heritage offers advanced research opportunities in the subject of Philosophy.
Research students will be able to access support and training to develop the practical and critical skills necessary for investigation and study at doctoral level. Direction will be available from a supervisory team and students have the opportunity to benefit from the School’s research expertise in areas including post-Kantian European philosophy, the philosophy of religion, the history and philosophy of biology, moral philosophy, and aesthetics.
Regular research seminars aim to provide a stimulating environment in which to discuss and debate theoretical concepts with fellow students, scholars, and visiting academics. Strong links exist with the Schools of Mathematics, Physics, and Psychology, and an interdisciplinary research culture facilitates collaboration with colleagues across a wide range of topics.
