The Master of Philosophy (M.Phil.) (sometimes Ph.M.) is a postgraduate research degree.
An M.Phil. is in most cases thesis-only, and is generally regarded as a senior or second Master's degree, standing between a taught Master's and a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.). An M.Phil. may be awarded to graduate students, after completing several years of original research but before the defence of a dissertation, and can serve as a provisional enrollment for a Ph.D.

“One of the main things that interfere with our joy is the belief that if we try hard enough, read the right books, follow the right advice, and buy the right things, we could be perfect parents. If we are good enough as parents, our children will be perfect too.... Unfortunately, what comes from trying to live out this philosophy is not perfect children but worried parents.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
