Overview
The Philosophy programme at Kingston University is dedicated to postgraduate study and research in the tradition of modern European (or 'continental') philosophy. You will be able to study in more depth and with a more intense research focus than is possible in a one-year MA. It will allow you to combine detailed study of foundational texts by Kant, Hegel, Marx and other seminal thinkers, along with a wide range of approaches to 20th-century developments in modern European philosophy and critical theory.
You'll be based at the UK's leading Centre for Research in Modern European Philosophy. (CRMEP) at Kingston University, where you will be part of a large, supportive and stimulating postgraduate community.
