What will I learn?

McMaster’s doctoral program in philosophy offers courses of study leading to the degree of PhD in philosophy. The program’s fundamental aims are to develop in students the research capabilities required of professional philosophers and to qualify students to teach philosophy at university level. Since the most important qualification for a university position is competence in advanced research, the program makes research the main feature of a student’s individual course of study. Coursework is complementary to research rather than a qualification for it. The program has been designed so that students may quickly enter into the excitement of their own research while steadily building a solid foundation of comprehensive knowledge.Areas of ResearchSocial, political and legal philosophyTheoretical and applied ethicsHistory of philosophy(ancient and modern)Metaphysics and epistemologyPhilosophy of scienceLanguage and logic
