Philosophy

Overview

The Philosophy programme at University of Bristol  aims to develop your interest in and knowledge and understanding of central areas of philosophy, including metaphysics, epistemology, moral philosophy, and other areas of value theory. You will acquire a critical awareness and sophisticated understanding of the central philosophical issues in these fields and a sophisticated ability to critically evaluate and assess those positions. You will also study more specialised topics via optional units.

You will join our flourishing research culture and be encouraged to get involved in the regular research seminars, workshops and reading groups on a wide range of philosophical issues. There is also a weekly postgraduate seminar offering a supportive environment.
