Student Views

When I decided I wanted to study Philosophy at University, I knew Cardiff was the place for me. The modules offered are diverse and stimulating, and because none are compulsory you are free to study what appeals to you. Whether you are interested in analytic, continental, political or even experimental philosophy, there will be a module and a lecturer who shares your interest. All the staff are friendly, approachable, and unfailingly supportive – both academically and personally. Lectures are engaging and seminars always enjoyable; we always have a good discussion and frequently have a laugh. Studying Philosophy at Cardiff has been one of the best decisions of my life. Three years just isn’t enough!
