Philosophy Conversion Course

[psybr]

Hi everyone,

 

I'm a psychiatrist with almost a decade of clinical experience. I've done a few short philosophy courses and have studied different topics, specially philosophy of mind and epistemology, by my own for the last few years.

 

I decided to follow a philosophy academic path and possible a whole career change.

 

I would like some advice and possible course suggestions that would fit my objectives. Would it be more interesting to pursue a bachelor degree, a postgraduate diploma or a masters?

 

Are any programs that accept people without a philosophy bachelor degree?

 

Thanks in advance.

Terminal Philosophy MA programs sometimes accept people with untraditional backgrounds who are looking to transition into Philosophy. You can find more info about them by searching this forum.

It really depends on your academic profile, but if you already have a bachelor`s degree in any field you could definitely apply to MA-PhD programs in philosophy. It would also depend on your career goals, target programs, and interests.
