Bachelor of Philosophy (B.Phil.; occasionally B.Ph. or Ph.B.) is the title of an academic degree. Despite its name, in many universities – for example, the University of Oxford – it is a graduate degree.
University of Oxford
Other universities Several universities have adopted the Oxford model of the B.Phil. as a graduate degree, either as originally intended (in a variety of academic subjects) or as it has subsequently developed (in philosophy only); for example, Dharmaram Vidya Kshetram and the University of Newcastle upon Tyne. At other universities, the term "Bachelor of Philosophy" refers to an undergraduate bachelor's degree. Frequently the degree is research-based or involves a considerable amount of independent study. For example, at Pennsylvania State University, the highly selective B.Phil. program enables students to plan their own academic programs in conjunction with a faculty preceptor. At Miami University's Western College Program, B.Phil. candidates participate in a residential program, work with faculty to design individualized majors, and produce a senior thesis. At the undergraduate Honours College of the University of Pittsburgh, B.Phil. candidates must pass oral examinations of a senior thesis. At Northwestern University, B.Phil. candidates must complete independent study in their academic major, and also attain proficiency in a complementary foreign language. At the Australian National University, the Bachelor of Philosophy (Ph.B.) is an individually tailored, research-based undergraduate degree in arts, Asian studies, or the sciences. The University of Birmingham offers the B.Phil. as a taught, research-based undergraduate degree in the fields of Education and Counselling. | ||||||||||
