Teaching method

Courses, seminars, practical seminars

Course units in the philosophy programme are divided into lectures and seminars or practical seminars.

  1. Lectures focus on a particular period in the history of philosophy or on a specific branch of philosophy.
  2. Seminars involve smaller groups. They are a forum for more detailed discussion about major philosophical works, and feature student presentations. There is a strong focus on debate and group discussion.
  3. The practical seminars are designed to introduce students to philosophical writing.
  4. Finally, students are required to produce a number of essays and research papers throughout the year, which are marked and returned to them with personalised feedback.
