Pre-registration and admission
Important:
The master programme is currently in the process of being approved by AQU (the Catalan academic accreditation agency).
PRE-REGISTRATION AND ADMISSION
To be admitted to the programme students should have a first degree in philosophy. Nonetheless, the master programme is also open to graduates in other areas such as, for example, humanities, journalism, linguistics, philology, mathematics, physics, economics or psychology; the entry requirements for these students are individually different and will typically involve the requirement to complete background courses before embarking on the APhil master.
For questions on academic matters students interested in applying for the APhil master programme can contact the subco-ordinator Max Kölbel (max.kolbel@ub.edu), who is responsible for admissions matters.
For administrative issues and other questions you can contact the APhil Master administrator at aphil.master@gmail.com
