Course Overview

Our Postgraduate Diploma in Philosophy is ideal if you want to develop your philosophical interests without undertaking a full Master's program. On this course, you will take all of the same taught elements as you would for our MA Philosophy, but you are not required to undertake an independent research project (dissertation). Our uniquely flexible program, which may be studied in the evening or in the day, offers postgraduate teaching in central aspects of Western philosophy in the broadly analytic tradition. The curriculum is research-led, with specialist modules taught by leading figures in their fields, and with a consistent focus on the fostering of intellectual curiosity and the development of independent thinking. You can decide to progress to the MA Philosophy at any point during the Postgraduate Diploma. 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.

Language Requirement

  • If English is not your first language or you have not previously studied in English, our usual requirement is the equivalent of an International English Language Testing System (IELTS Academic Test) score of 6.5, with not less than 6.0 in each of the sub-tests.
