Originally, Oxford named its pre-doctoral graduate degrees the Bachelor of Philosophy (BPhil) and the Bachelor of Letters (BLitt). The BPhil was a two-year degree plan partly taught and completed through research requirements. The BLitt was a two-year research degree. After complaints, especially from overseas students, that this naming convention often meant that graduate degrees were not being recognised as such, the university renamed them <a href="/wiki/Master_of_Philosophy" title="Master of Philosophy">Master of Philosophy</a> (MPhil) and <a href="/wiki/Master_of_Letters" title="Master of Letters">Master of Letters</a> (MLitt). However, the Philosophy Faculty<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> (then a sub-faculty) argued that its BPhil degree had become so well-known and respected in the philosophical world that it would be confusing to change the name. In philosophy, therefore, the degree continues to be called the BPhil. Those who pass the degree are given the choice of taking a BPhil or an MPhil; few, if any, choose the latter.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources. (July 2010)">citation needed</span></a></i>]</sup> (Note that Oxford also offers a number of other <a href="/wiki/Degrees_of_the_University_of_Oxford#Postgraduate_degrees" title="Degrees of the University of Oxford">graduate degrees labeled as baccalaureate degrees</a>: the law faculty's BCL, and the music faculty's BMus.) </p><p>Today's Oxford BPhil course is a two-year programme of seminars, six essays (of up to 5,000 words each) and a research thesis (max. 30,000 words). The BPhil is regarded as a very demanding degree, and an academic background in philosophy is a prerequisite for admission. </p><p>The Oxford BPhil was designed to be a preparation for teaching philosophy at university level. Today it often also provides a foundation for doctoral (DPhil or PhD) work in philosophy.

Frequently, the degree is either research-based or involves additional academic components, (e.g. independent study, interdisciplinary study, foreign language requirements, etc.). For example, at <a href="/wiki/Pennsylvania_State_University" title="Pennsylvania State University">Pennsylvania State University</a>, the BPhil program enables students to plan their own academic programs in conjunction with a faculty preceptor. At <a href="/wiki/Miami_University" title="Miami University">Miami University</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Western_College_Program" title="Western College Program">Western College Program</a>, BPhil candidates participate in a residential program, worked with faculty to design individualized majors, and produce a thesis. At <a href="/wiki/University_of_Pittsburgh_Honors_College" class="mw-redirect" title="University of Pittsburgh Honors College">University of Pittsburgh Honors College</a>, BPhil candidates must pass oral examinations of a senior thesis. <a href="/wiki/Northwestern_University" title="Northwestern University">Northwestern University</a>'s BPhil degree requires two years of a foreign language. The <a href="/wiki/University_of_Birmingham" title="University of Birmingham">University of Birmingham</a> offers the BPhil as a taught, research-based undergraduate degree in the fields of <a href="/wiki/Education" title="Education">education</a> and <a href="/wiki/Psychotherapy" title="Psychotherapy">counselling</a>. The <a href="/wiki/University_of_New_Brunswick" title="University of New Brunswick">University of New Brunswick</a> offers the BPhil as a seminar-based degree in interdisciplinary leadership. The <a href="/wiki/Technical_University_of_Kenya" title="Technical University of Kenya">Technical University of Kenya</a> offers the BPhil to those with higher diplomas in various subjects. <a href="/wiki/Stellenbosch_University" title="Stellenbosch University">Stellenbosch University</a> offers a BPhil in journalism. Prospective students must have obtained a recognised undergraduate degree in any discipline and sat for the department's entrance examination, which is written across South Africa. Top-performing applicants are then invited to interview for final selection. The BPhil is regarded as one of the most sought after and demanding postgraduate offerings at the university. </p><p>In 1948 the <a href="/wiki/University_of_Chicago" title="University of Chicago">University of Chicago</a> offered a PhB which differed from the BA in that it required two fewer non-required courses. The degree was offered by the college as part of the Hutchins program that allowed students to matriculate after two years of high school. <a href="/wiki/Yale_College" title="Yale College">Yale College</a> has historically offered PhB programs. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Australia">Australia</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Bachelor_of_Philosophy&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Australia"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Australian_National_University">Australian National University</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Bachelor_of_Philosophy&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Australian National University"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The Bachelor of Philosophy (PhB) is an individually tailored, research-based undergraduate degree in arts/social sciences<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> or the natural sciences.<sup id="cite_ref-anu.edu.au_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-anu.edu.au-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Students undertake supervised research courses, entitled Advanced Studies Courses,<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> each semester with researching academics, often on a one-to-one basis.
