MA in philosophy - new 2year program at the Central European University in Budapest

Interested in doing an MA in philosophy in Budapest??

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A new MA program in philosophy is launched in September 2008 at the
Central European University in Budapest.

The curriculum of the two year program covers most major areas of
philosophy, primarily - but not exclusively  - from an analytic
perspective, and offers a training in thinking analytically and
systematically which is of great value in a number of different
professions.

In addition, the program aims to enable students to proceed to doctoral
training in philosophy, either at CEU, in the region, or the rest of the
world. Because of the analytical orientation of the department, and also
because the language of instruction is English, we hope this program
will be a good preparation for those students who want to continue their
studies in the US or the UK.

The program is conceived as a two-year Bologna-compatible MA program.
Those students who have taken a four-year BA in philosophy, or already
have an MA, are also welcome to apply, for example if they want to
increase their familiarity with the analytic approach. For them, it is
also possible to complete the course in one year.

All our MA students are eligible for a full financial package which
includes a tuition waiver, health insurance, housing, and a monthly
stipend.

We also continue with our PhD program and welcome applicants for the
next academic year.

application deadlines: January 15, 2008 and February 28, 2008

or Katalin Farkas (head of department).
