<p class="MsoPlainText">Applications are now open for the July intake of the MA in Continental Philosophy at Western Sydney University.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Our MA is an 18-month program that is designed primarily as a degree program for those excellent and promising students who would like to continue in a doctoral program. To that end, we will actively support students who wish to continue
their studies in a doctoral program elsewhere.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">The MA is housed in the Philosophy Research Initiative of Western Sydney University, which is an active group of philosophers and graduate students who also share in the lively intellectual and cultural life of other universities and
of Sydney, Australia.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have two stipends ($2000) to support international students and we also have professional travel funding ($2000) available to all MA students. Details can be found at the following web link:
