Philosophy involves 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 held in the Highlands, alongside an active undergraduate Philosophy Society.
You'll acquire versatile skills beneficial for your professional future, including assessing arguments, interpreting texts, analytical thinking, clear written and verbal communication, and challenging preconceptions. 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 the Civil Service fast track (Treasury and MoD).
This program covers 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 truly exists.
After two years, you'll have explored major philosophical disciplines and gained practical skills to formulate your own responses to the questions addressed in years 1 and 2.
