Applied philosophical studies involves questioning much that is taken for granted by common sense or popular belief, in morals, politics, religion, art, history and science. Consequently, its method is necessarily both imaginative and analytic, the aim being to elucidate concepts and understand varieties of explanation and description in various fields, rather than to rival their proper practitioners in the discovery of facts, the construction of theories or the implementation of ideals. These debates include the values of freedom and equality, human rights and social justice, and environmental ethics, asking important questions such as whether punishment can be justified or whether animals have rights?

Candidates taking this programme will thus be encouraged to view theoretical analysis as an integral part of their daily praxis. This will give them the opportunity to reflect on and critically engage with the ideas and ideals which lie behind and underpin their work.

Candidates will consider the significance of issues in metaphysics, philosophy of mind, ethical theory and political philosophy to questions of practical concern such as abortion, euthanasia, suicide, freedom of speech, sexual and racial discrimination, debates surrounding reproductive technologies, genetic enhancement, criminal punishment, the environment, world hunger, and the welfare of future people. Thus they will be able to choose from a range of modules covering a variety of different themes and specialist areas. The modules are built around the research specialisms of our academic staff all of whom are research active and regularly publish their thoughts and ideas.

The MA Applied Philosophy is a modular programme. In part I, students take six 20-credit modules. In part II, students are required to write a dissertation.

Entry Requirements

The normal minimum requirement for admission is a Bachelor’s degree, with good II.1 honours, or equivalent. However as part of an inclusive approach to learning we encourage students from non traditional entry points or without recognised educational backgrounds but who have an equivalent and appropriate professional qualification or significant relevant professional experience to apply. In such cases the programme leader may ask for a telephone/ skype conversation or request evidence in the form of a piece of work, report, analysis of some sort to satisfy themselves that each student is able to fulfil their potential on the course

AUSTRALIAN SOCIETY

According to The Australian Sociological Association (TASA), sociology focuses on the organisation of social life. It looks at how people’s lives are influenced by their opportunities and experiences; and the impact that people have on society through taking action and creating change. Sociology provides insights into the ways factors such as class, wealth, race, gender, ethnicity, age, sexuality, disability and religion shape people’s lives, but this is only one part of it. Sociologists question the common-sense and popular explanations of social life and look at the dynamics of power and inequality in everyday life. The Australian Society specialisation will be the lens that students use to apply their sociological knowledge and skills to wider Australian society.

SOCIAL RESEARCH

There is a growing demand in Australia and internationally for people with graduate qualifications in social research methods. Upon graduation you will have practical skills in social science research that can be applied in government, NGOs (non-government organisations), and private organisations. Graduates will gain a solid foundation for undertaking, overseeing and evaluating research within the employment sector or for further studies within the social sciences. In particular, students taking this major will develop knowledge and understanding of research methods, analysis and statistical techniques.
