Study Philosophy at the University of Liverpool

Study

As philosophers we do many different things and ask many different questions. What am I? How should I live? What will humans be like in the future? Studying philosophy at the University of Liverpool is a journey into these eternal questions. We cannot tell you what is right and what is wrong, important or trivial, beautiful or ugly, but we can help you to think about these questions in new and exciting ways. 

Our undergraduate programmes offer students a tight-knit community, a wide variety of combined honours, unique undergraduate modules, and dedicated career support. You can combine your study with a Year in Industry and with international experiences. Our graduates achieve outcomes that exceed the HE Sector and Russell Group averages in Employability (2024 Graduate Outcomes Report).  

As a small, friendly department in one of the UK’s cultural capitals, we offer an inspiring environment for study of Philosophy at Postgraduate Level too. Our Masters programmes link up with various cultural and political initiatives in the city of Liverpool, while our PhD training prepares you for an academic career in the UK and beyond.
