Philosophy (Research) | Radboud University

Philosophers poke their noses into all aspects of science and society with the aid of two essential skills: to analyse complex issues logically and conceptually and the ability to document their conclusions in clear and persuasive language. The development of these skills requires intensive training. The Research Master's programme in Philosophy constitutes the first professional step towards the acquisition of these skills.

We offer the following to provide you with the best possible academic background:

• A combination of internationally acclaimed research and excellent teaching
• A wide variety of research seminars in the history of philosophy, continental philosophy and analytic philosophy
• A broad range of specialisations in Philosophical Anthropology, Metaphysics, Philosophy of Mind, Philosophy of language and Logic, Philosophical Ethics, Social and Political Philosophy and the History of Philosophy

• A high chance of obtaining a PhD position in the Netherlands or abroad
