In the first year, teaching concentrates entirely on these subjects, which lays a firm foundation of familiarity with central philosophical topics and ability to reason in a rigorous manner. In the second and third years, in addition to exploring these core subjects further, students can choose from a wide range of options. Naturally, fewer philosophy options will be taken, but the structure of subjects remains the same. Selection procedure Many candidates are made an offer solely on the basis of their UCAS form. Others are invited to an interview with a member of the academic staff or to present some written work that shows imagination, flexibility and clarity of thought rather than extensive knowledge of philosophy.
Mature students are welcome and are accepted on the basis of a variety of qualifications.
