Come and explore some of the most profound questions it is possible to ask with some of the most eminent philosophers in the country. What makes something good or just? Is the human mind just a lump of grey matter? Can I know that I'm not trapped inside The Matrix? Do we have free will? Does God exist? Does science provide us with a special kind of knowledge? Who decides what counts as beautiful?

Our BA Philosophy with Foundation Year provides a thorough grounding in the central areas of philosophy for students from all educational backgrounds. This prestigious degree fosters independent judgement, original thought and the ability to analyse complex ideas and arguments. It offers a wide range of option modules. Moreover, the Philosophy Department at Birkbeck maintains close connections with other departments in the University of London. We often welcome students on our modules from UCL, KCL, and SOAS and our students, in return, also have the opportunity to take modules with our intercollegiate partners.
