Introduction to SOAS MA in Global Philosophy

Join us for an introduction to the MA Global Philosophy at SOAS.

This session explores how the programme rethinks what philosophy can be by moving beyond the Western canon and engaging with rich intellectual traditions from Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. You’ll discover how a global and comparative approach opens up new ways of understanding key philosophical questions and debates.

What you’ll learn

• The structure and focus of the MA
• How global and comparative perspectives expand the study of philosophy
• Opportunities to explore diverse philosophical traditions and methods
• Ways to tailor your degree, including optional modules and languages
• Career pathways in research, education, policy, and cultural sectors
• What makes SOAS’s global, critical, and interdisciplinary approach distinctive
   

Perfect for Postgraduate Taught students interested in philosophy, global thought, and cross‑cultural intellectual traditions.

We are running two sessions of the webinar, in the morning at 10:00am (UK time) and then later in the afternoon at 5:00pm (UK time). Please book for the session that's most convenient for you.
