Demographics
Ph.D.
Program Strengths
The department offers PhDs in philosophy and in applied philosophy. We encourage applied and interdisciplinary philosophical research, including research intersecting with issues and methods in the natural and social sciences, history, mathematics, and engineering. Our research strengths include Language, Logic and Metaphysics, Philosophy of Mind and Cognitive Science, Ethics and Political Philosophy, and Philosophy of Science and Mathematics. The PhD program at Waterloo is exceptional for its flexibility. There are no particular distribution requirements. Instead, students work with their supervisor and the graduate chair to determine which courses are best for them. For their directed research area studies, PhD students work with two professors on topics they choose in consultation with faculty.
