Embark on a profound intellectual journey with the MA Philosophy and Psychology at the University of Aberdeen, a postgraduate degree designed for those eager to explore the fundamental questions of human existence and the intricacies of the mind. This programme delves into the nature of reality, knowledge, and consciousness, while simultaneously examining the empirical study of human thought, emotion, and behaviour. You will engage with core concepts in both disciplines, developing a sophisticated understanding of how philosophical inquiry and psychological science intersect to illuminate the human condition, preparing you for advanced study or diverse professional roles.
This full-time, on-campus MA is structured over four years, providing a comprehensive exploration of both subject areas. Your studies will encompass foundational psychology courses, including introductory and advanced modules on concepts, theory, methods, and applications, alongside philosophical topics such as experience, knowledge, and reality. In your final year, you will undertake a significant Psychology Joint Honours Thesis, applying your accumulated knowledge to an independent research project. You will graduate with a robust analytical toolkit and a deep understanding of human cognition and behaviour, opening pathways to careers in research, education, counselling, and beyond.
