Philosophy is the methodical pursuit of clear responses to deep inquiries about knowledge, existence, ethics, science, and human behavior through logical reasoning and debate. We organize reading retreats for students, often in the Scottish Highlands, and maintain an active undergraduate Philosophy Society.
You'll acquire versatile skills that prove beneficial for future professions. These encompass assessing arguments and texts, analytical thinking, clear and precise writing, and challenging presuppositions. Some alumni pursue advanced Philosophy degrees and academic careers. Recent Philosophy graduates have secured positions at: Hydrogen Group (recruitment consultant), Hopscotch Films (TV researcher), The Guardian (audience editor), and Civil Service fast track (Treasury and MoD).
This program familiarizes students with fundamental philosophical concepts about reality's essence. Participants examine key topics in formal logic, metaphysics, philosophy of religion, and philosophy of science, concentrating on determining what entities can truly be said to exist.
Upon completing your second year, you'll have explored major philosophical domains while gaining practical skills to formulate your own responses to the questions addressed in years 1 and 2.
