Course Overview

This Postgraduate Certificate in Philosophy is ideal if you want to develop a grounding in philosophy, but are not yet ready to commit to an MA. It is very well suited to people with busy schedules. You will study the central philosophical questions - in metaphysics, ethics, political philosophy, and the theory of knowledge - and have the opportunity to delve deeper into more specific philosophical topics, based on your own interests. You will also develop your ability to write clearly, think critically, and argue philosophically about some of the deepest questions in the Western philosophical tradition. The program provides you with the chance to engage in seminar discussions with your fellow students and the opportunity to study with leading philosophers in their fields. Graduates go into careers in management, politics, recruitment, and journalism. Possible professions include further/higher education lecturer, secondary school teacher, or Civil Service fast streamer. This degree can also be useful in becoming a local government officer, marketing executive, or recruitment consultant.

General Eligibility

At least a second-class honors degree (2:2), or equivalent, not necessarily in philosophy.
