MPhil in Political Thought and Intellectual History

MPhil 政治思想和知识史

Postgraduate taught · Master of Philosophy (MPhil)

PROGRAMME OVERVIEW

项目介绍

The MPhil in Political Thought and Intellectual History is aimed at students interested in both the theory and history of political thought (including those wider intellectual idioms which provide the context for its development). It also welcomes students whose previous study had a more specialised historical or theoretical (or philosophical) bent, provided that while doing this course, they are willing to engage with both approaches to research. The MPhil in Political Thought and Intellectual History attracts students from all over the world, and its training provides an ideal foundation for doctoral research not only in the United Kingdom but around the world. The MPhil in Political Thought and Intellectual History combines taught and research elements over a nine-month full-time programme, with a focus on pursuing the individual student's research for a dissertation of 15,000-20,000 words. Classes are provided in core methodology and the reading of selected texts, and on key concepts, which offer opportunities to explore different methods used in the field, different approaches to reading texts, and a variety of political concepts. The MPhil in Political Thought and Intellectual History offers students a rounded and flexible master's programme that provides them with an introduction to all three of the fields contained within its scope (History of Political Thought, Political Theory, Intellectual History), while allowing them to specialise in their own area of particular interest. It offers a thorough training in the key techniques of higher-level academic study and research. It is an inter-faculty programme linking History, Politics, and Classics. The teaching staff and examiners, as do students on the course, have diverse disciplinary backgrounds. Throughout the course, students will be supervised by a dedicated member of staff, who will guide them towards the completion of an original research project chosen and developed by the student. In addition, students will benefit from Cambridge's vibrant research environment, attending and participating in seminars, guest talks, workshops, and other events throughout the year.
