Description:

The MA in Philosophy at Western is a one-year program. Students take six one-term courses and write a 10,000-word research paper over the summer (which may, but need not, develop work from one of their courses).

Each year, the courses available reflect the strengths and diversity of interests of the faculty, which collect along five principal fields: feminist philosophy; history of philosophy (ancient, medieval and modern); moral, political and legal philosophy; philosophy of mind and language; and philosophy of science (including mathematics and logic).

Prerequisites:

These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
    Admission Requirements:
    ▪ Honours (or four-year) Bachelor's program from an accredited institution.
    ▪ Minimum 78% average in the last two years of the undergraduate degree.

    In special circumstances, students whose specialization is not philosophy may be admitted, depending upon how relevant their discipline of training is to their intended program of study in philosophy.
