Course content

Our flagship Philosophy programme offers excellent opportunities to enhance your learning among a large, vibrant and supportive postgraduate and research community at a university that has long been associated with some of the field’s most important thinkers, such as David Hume.

This programme provides an intensive grounding in philosophy, its methodology and techniques of research. It is the ideal programme to lead on to further research and study in philosophy as part of a PhD programme.

We will provide a broad advanced education in philosophy or a chance to specialise in any of our key areas:

• ancient philosophy
• early modern philosophy
• epistemology
• ethics
• mind, language and embodied cognition
• philosophy of science
