Overview
This Philosophy course at the University of Oxford is not available in part-time mode of study and is not offered via distance learning.
Features
- The primary aim of the faculty’s DPhil in Philosophy is to prepare you for an academic career in philosophy.
- Each year, the Faculty of Philosophy welcomes students from a range of courses who have already completed substantial graduate work in philosophy.
Programme Structure
Research
- As part of your doctoral research you will produce a substantial 75,000-word thesis.
- Students proceeding to the DPhil programme via the BPhil will normally write a DPhil thesis which is an expansion of their BPhil thesis and may be able to incorporate the full contents of their 30,000-word BPhil thesis into the 75,000-word DPhil thesis.
- However, this is not a formal requirement; sometimes the BPhil thesis topic is not suitable for expansion into a DPhil thesis, or you may wish to write your DPhil thesis on a different topic.
