It is distinctive in offering an unusually broad range of module options specifically in this area of philosophy covering 19th and 20th century Continental Philosophy major figures and themes as well as more specialised or less mainstream topics. Because of the breadth of our expertise in this area whichever module option you choose you will be taught by world leaders in their respective fields.
Teaching
On this course you will follow a programme of taught modules followed by a 10000 word dissertation. You will cover 6 modules - although your exact pathway will depend on your selection of core and optional modules. We offer a wide range of optional modules reflecting the great breadth of research areas we have in our department so you will be able to tailor your course to your interests and aspirations.
