  -The Department admits students into two degrees: Master in Arts, specialization in Biomedical Ethics, and a Doctor in Philosophy. PhD1 is a direct-entry program for students with an Honours BA degree in Philosophy or the equivalent. PhD2 is a program for students who hold an MA degree in Philosophy, or equivalent. At present, we do not consider applicants for an MA in Philosophy. We offer an MA specialization in Bioethics in conjunction with the Biomedical Ethics Unit. Information for students interested in the Specialty MA in Biomedical Ethics can be found here: mcgill.ca/biomedicalethicsunit/ .
  
  The Department considers an adequate undergraduate training in philosophy to be one that furnishes a student with:
  A general knowledge of the history of Western philosophy: Greek, Medieval, Modern;
  A systematic knowledge of the main philosophical disciplines in their contemporary as well as historical contexts: logic, ethics, epistemology, and metaphysics;
  An ability to present, in written form, clear and substantial reconstructions and analyses of the materials normally studied in the areas mentioned in (1) and (2).
  To demonstrate their competence in these areas, applicants must submit transcripts of academic work, three letters of recommendation from persons with whom they have studied, and at least one substantial example (approximately 15–20 typewritten pages) of their written philosophical work.
  
  In addition, applicants from North America whose first language is English are strongly encouraged to submit scores of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE). Applicants to graduate studies whose mother tongue is not English, and who have not completed an undergraduate or graduate degree from a recognized foreign institution where English is the language of instruction or from a recognized Canadian institution (anglophone or francophone), must submit documented proof of competency in oral and written English (TOEFL score).
