Introduction

Now, more than ever, reflection on the relationships we have is so important. Drawing on a rich and varied tradition of philosophical theory across Anglo-American and the continental European traditions, our MA in Philosophy allows you to engage with those important action-guiding concepts that are at the centre of key debates about the human condition and our relationship with nature. You’ll gain the skills to think critically and deeply about the challenges that confront us across politics, the sciences and the arts as a result of rapid contemporary social, technological and environmental changes.

The philosophy department has a range of research specialisms which appealed to me, so I knew that I would fit in with their research culture. I also knew that Manchester Met has excellent library facilities, which is important for a field as heavily research-based as philosophy.
