Graduate
Research in the School of Philosophy
at the University of Tasmania
The School of Philosophy houses both the Philosophy and Gender Studies programs. The school offers research opportunities in both ‘Analytic’ and ‘European’ traditions and has particular strengths in European Philosophy, Logic and Philosophy of Science, Applied Philosophy and Ethics, Comparative Philosophy—especially in relation to Buddhist and other Asian traditions, and Feminist Philosophy. The School of Philosophy is particularly research-active with staff holding numerous Australian Research Council grants. In addition all staff are active in the publication of their research.
The School has an active postgraduate community. In addition to pursuing their own research all postgraduate students participate in the postgraduate students’ work-in-progress seminar and attend the School research seminar, a series that includes talks from eminent visitors from around Australia and from around the world. Being a postgraduate student involves being an active member of the School of Philosophy and being fully engaged with its research and other activities.
Set in the natural beauty of Hobart in southern Tasmania and Launceston in northern Tasmania, the University of Tasmania is an ideal place to undertake postgraduate study in Philosophy or Gender Studies. It combines the attraction of a serious research-based department with the benefits of a friendly, collegial and relaxed environment.

Research Degree Courses
Our School offers both MA and PhD degree programs by research. The Masters and PhD programs require the completion of a thesis (no more than 60,000 words for Masters and 100,000 words for PhD) written under the supervision of, usually, two staff members. For Masters candidates the time is a minimum of one year and a maximum of three years, and for PhD candidates the minima and maxima are two years and four years respectively. These times are based on full-time candidature, and are adjusted appropriately for part-time candidature.
