Postgraduate Funding in Philosophy at Edinburgh

The Department of Philosophy at the University of Edinburgh has a number of funding awards
available for the coming academic year for students at both Masters (MSc) and PhD level. These
include:

•       AHRC Awards: We have 3 full PhD awards and 1 MSc award for students starting in 2010.
•       Philosophy Scholarship Awards: We will be offering at least 3 of these awards to PhD students
starting in 2010.

In addition, there are a number of University-wide schemes that prospective postgraduate
students can apply to, and which normally result in several awards per year to postgraduate
students in the Department of Philosophy. For more details about the range of postgraduate
funding available in the Department of Philosophy at Edinburgh, go to:

While the Department of Philosophy has research expertise in most areas of philosophy, we have
particular research strengths in the following areas:

•       Epistemology
•       Ethics
•       History of Philosophy (particularly ancient philosophy & early modern philosophy)
•       Philosophy of Logic & Language
•       Philosophy of Mind & Cognitive Science

We especially encourage applications from students interested in these areas of philosophy. For
