How will I be taught on the undergraduate Philosophy programmes?

You will be taught by a combination of lectures, seminars, and tutorials.

The college itself provides a thorough course of lectures for each of the relevant papers. And as a student of the University of London, you can also attend all the intercollegiate lectures taught by the members of the Philosophy Departments of all the Colleges of the University: Heythrop, Birkbeck, King's, LSE and UCL. With their combined strengths, together they make the University of London one of the best places in the world to study Philosophy.

As well as all the permanent faculty at the University of London, the London philosophical community is always supplemented by a large number of internationally renowned visiting philosophers, many of whom come from abroad to present talks to London faculty and students. And an indication of how philosophically exciting a place London is can be seen from glancing at the Conferences and Fixtures List maintained by the Institute of Philosophy of the University of London School of Advanced Study.

On top of all this, there is also Heythrop flourishing student-run Philosophy Society, which meets regularly to hear and discuss a talk given by a guest speaker. The speaker is usually invited to supper afterwards so that discussion can be continued in a relaxed and sociable atmosphere. And of course there is Heythrop’s invaluable system of tutorials.
