Is anyone studying philosophy at postgraduate level?

I'm thinking of applying for the philosophy MA (or the diploma). The course content looks okay but I want to hear what it's like from current students.

Are you enjoying it? Is it challenging?

I did a Mssters in 2014 and PhD afterwards

I don't think it was especially challenging, but I loved it

Okay things might have changed since then but I'll go ahead and ask, was everything actually online (for the Masters)? I'm curious as to how exams (not essays) work.

No, everything was in person and normal. This year exams are online where I teach. There's basically just a hard wordlimit (less than the essay assessments, so maybe 1000 words per answer) and they are submitted like essays are

You can get in touch with prospective depts and ask about this, though

(I just saw this is in the OU forum - sorry!!!)
