Postgraduate Teaching at Stirling

The St Andrews-Stirling Graduate Programme in Philosophy (SASP)

The Department runs a joint graduate programme with the departments of Moral Philosophy and of Logic and Metaphysics at the nearby University of St Andrews. Philosophers from other universities also contribute to the teaching. A foundation year of courses is currently taught at St Andrews and leads to an MLitt (including a short dissertation) or Graduate Diploma (coursework only). Students who make satisfactory progress may then proceed to a research Master's degree or a PhD at either Stirling or St Andrews.

The Philosophy Department is a stimulating and friendly environment in which to pursue research. In particular, we pride ourselves on providing:

• Regular contact between students and their research supervisors
• Regular progress reports and consultations
• Internal research seminars at which graduates are encouraged to present their work
• Guidance in the research methods appropriate to advanced level research
• Assistance in preparation of grant proposals and job applications
• Opportunities and guidance in acquiring teaching experience.
