Masters Programs Like the European Graduate School
October 1, 2016 6:47 PM Subscribe
I'm looking for other programs like the European Graduate School that involves giant(s) of continental philosophy offering a moderately expensive Master's degree on continental Europe.
I've found a similar program at Kingston U in London that is exactly what I'm looking for, and I would think that there are others like it (other than EGS of course), but I haven't found any.
I know this is hyper-specific but maybe someone has some insight?

Best answer: I am currently doing my M.A. in Germany (I am a native German-speaker) on Continental Philosophy and am in the process of applying to graduate school in the US. The one other school that immediately comes to mind is Warwick. They even offer an M.A. in Continental Philosophy.
Other than that I recommend you go through these three lists and find out which programmes offer terminal master degrees:
1. PGR (obviosuly check for the fields you are interested in)
2. Pluralist's guide
3. SPEP recommendations
It should be said that you should always be wary of these kind of rankings, but they are a good starting point. Once you have found a few schools that you may be interested in it makes sense to further parse the schools for teachers who do work interesting to you.

This thread is closed to new comments.
The Committee on Social Thought at U. Chicago apparently does not.
In the UK, I know that King's College London is a well-regarded department with a number of cool-looking master's programs. St. Andrews also has a good department with various M.Litt options.
Even assuming (I hope correctly) that you're doing this purely for love of learning, I would go with either KCL or St. Andrews over the New School.
