Philosophy will teach you to think critically and to express yourself clearly, providing you with key skills
8、 necessary for succeeding in any job.With eleven full-time members of staff, several part-time members of staff, and about two hundred and eighty students, the department is small enough to sustain a friendly family atmosphere, but also large enough to generate plenty of life and activity of its own

The course is designed to foster clarity of expression and high standards of critical thought. It is a fundamental belief of our department that the de
