Although we do cover the full range of contemporary philosophical concerns, we are unusual in providing so much opportunity in these areas.

The other is that our research and teaching is spread equally across both the ÔanalyticÕ and ÔContinentalÕ styles of Western philosophy. For historical reasons, most philosophy courses in the UK are almost entirely analytic. Some are almost entirely Continental. Only a very few are evenly balanced across the two approaches, allowing students to develop a full understanding of both with the possibility of an informed choice to specialise in one approach or the other.

Your scheduled contact hours will be supplemented by the opportunity for individual meetings with academic staff, by supportive academic progress meetings with your personal tutor and by the opportunity to attend research seminars and careers activities.
