In both years, the Research Colloquia provides a key context in which students are connected with state-of-the-art research. Year-long colloquia are offered simultaneously in each of the three areas of the department's philosophy research programmes: Practical Philosophy (PF), Theoretical Philosophy (TF), and History of Philosophy (GF). In consultation with the Research Master coordinator, students select the most suitable research group to be associated with in each of the two years of the programme. As a course, the Research Colloquia comprises participation in the colloquium meetings of graduate students, postdocs and academic staff in the respective research areas. The content is centered on the current research projects carried out by the staff. In addition, participation in the annual Utrecht Philosophy Lectures and workshops brings research master students into contact with current work being done by leading international scholars. Students are also expected to participate in the annual interdisciplinary conference organized by students and PhD researchers in the Graduate School of Humanities, which provides students with a broader perspective regarding ongoing research in different subfields of the humanities, and create a network of young scholars beyond their area of specialization.
