Overview

We have teaching staff with strong research profiles in modern European philosophy. They have an interest in interdisciplinary research and collaboration.

Our lecturers have broad philosophical interests and specialise in modern European thought.

You can choose between academic dissertations or the more flexible context-based learning approach. Your personal interest will drive your context-based learning. You will engage philosophically with an object or aspect of reality.

You can read more about this approach on the Philosophy web page.
