About the company & team

The Department of Philosophy at UCL is one of the leading philosophy departments in the UK. In the 2021 REF, 60% of our overall profile received the top grade (4*), the highest of any UK philosophy department. We offer several undergraduate degree programmes. Undergraduate first-year modules usually involve two hours of lectures per week; second-year modules usually involve a one-hour lecture plus a one-hour seminar per week; third year modules usually involve two hours of seminars per week.

We offer taught master's programmes, and a prestigious research master's and PhD. Graduate-level modules usually involve two hours of seminars per week. The department has great advantages as a centre of research activity. The extraordinary number of research seminars, talks and lectures that take place in the various London colleges, the Institute of Philosophy in the University of London, the Institute of Classical Studies, the Aristotelian Society and the Royal Institute of Philosophy, all offer a wealth of opportunities.
