The course is distinctive through its study of contemporary critical theory traditions (including psychoanalytic theory, Marxism, feminist theory and critical race theory) together with foundational texts in modern European philosophy, notably by Kant, Hegel and Marx. This course is taught by leading specialists at the internationally renowned Centre for Research in Modern European Philosophy (CRMEP).
The course comprises one core module, three optional modules and a dissertation on a chosen topic. The core module examines the two main traditions of critical theory, the Frankfurt School and French anti-humanism, and the background of Kant, Hegel, Marx and 19th-century European philosophy more generally.
Students can attend and participate in a range of events, such as research with visiting international speakers, departmental lectures, workshops and research seminars. They will have easy access to London's research libraries and other events. The course is delivered through relatively small seminars, which involve a mixture of structured lectures or presentations, textual analysis, and group discussion.
Graduates often progress to research degrees in European philosophy and critical theory, or to careers in media/journalism, publishing, the arts, education, and public policy.
