On Campus

Each student completes the compulsory ‘ Mind and Reality ’ course (20 credits) and the compulsory ‘ Values and Society ’ course (20 credits), takes a selection of 20-credit optional courses (for a total of 80 credits), and writes a Dissertation (60 credits).

The compulsory courses are designed to engage students with classic philosophy texts and debates and to develop in them the research, speaking, and writing skills that underpin a career in the philosophy profession and (more generally) support an informed, reflective and thoughtful approach to life. Each optional course surveys a different area of philosophy, with students encouraged to specialise further within each course through choice from assignment topics and support through associated individual tutorials.

The structured  dissertation  provides an opportunity for an extended piece of research on a topic of the student’s choice culminating in a 10,000- to 12,000-word dissertation.
