Admission Requirements

Admission to our graduate program is competitive. We admit those applicants who appear to be the most likely to succeed in our programs. There are qualifications that we generally look for in all applications. These include your grades and your background in philosophy. Details on the accepted standards in these areas may be viewed below.

Grade requirements

To be considered for any of our graduate degree programmes, candidates should have at least an A- average in the most recent ten full credits of their academic career.

A "full credit" is the equivalent of one class running the full academic year; the usual half-year class is a "half credit," and the usual full-time undergraduate academic year is five full credits. (Classes in progress when you apply are not counted in the ten credits.) What is an A- average? Given the variety of mark scales used, it's difficult to provide a general account of how we'd calculate this. If you're not sure whether you'd meet this requirement, ask for advice from the 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 Philosophy Department Graduate Coordinator,

Residency requirement

Residency in Halifax is required. The 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 Department of Philosophy does not support remote graduate education.

Degree prerequisites

For consideration for the One-Year MA degree programme we normally expect applicants to have finished a Canadian four-year honours degree in philosophy, or the equivalent (usually a four-year major or advanced major in philosophy with courses that show evidence of independent research.)

For consideration for the Two-Year MA degree programme we normally expect applicants to have taken an honours or advanced major in a related subject, and a substantial number of "core" philosophy classes鈥攖hat is, intermediate or advanced level classes surveying the major philosophers and theories in basic areas such as ethics, theory of knowledge, philosophy of mind, philosophy of science, etc.

For consideration for the PhD programme we normally require students to have completed an MA in philosophy.


Please note
that if you are not sure your previous philosophy degree satisfies the above requirements for admission to the graduate program, you may contact the philosophy Graduate Coordinator for advice.

Other Options
If you would like to do a graduate degree in philosophy at 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 but do not meet the admission qualifications, there are other options you may consider. Two main options that are available are to complete a qualifying year, or to pursue an interdisciplinary degree. The details on these options may be viewed below.

Qualifying year

It is possible to upgrade your qualifications and make a later application. The recommendation in this case is to enrol as a "no degree" undergraduate student. This is what is often called a "Qualifying Year."  You can take courses in philosophy during this year to accumulate the sufficient number of credits required for admission, and/or to improve your GPA. We can't guarantee admission just because you have done the qualifying year, but it can serve to satisfy our necessary conditions for consideration and improve your chances for admission. No-degree undergraduate students (students completing a qualifying year) at 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 are called Undergraduate Special Students. Application for this status uses the same form as for the regular undergraduate degree program. You can find the graduate application form on the 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 Registrar's webpage, Applying for Graduate Studies.

Interdisciplinary PhD

If you have a background in a variety of subjects, but with insufficient depth in philosophy to qualify for our graduate programs, another option you might consider is an interdisciplinary degree. 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 offers an Interdisciplinary PhD; students may be admitted to this programme without the depth of background in any one subject necessary for the usual one-discipline PhD. Please refer to the Interdisciplinary PhD website for more information.
