Durham University is distinctive - a residential collegiate university with long traditions and modern values. We seek the highest distinction in research and scholarship and are committed to excellence in all aspects of education and transmission of knowledge. Our research and scholarship affect every continent.

We are proud to be an international scholarly community which reflects the ambitions of cultures from around the world. We promote individual participation, providing a rounded education in which students, staff and alumni gain both the academic and the personal skills required to flourish.

The Department provides a welcoming, supportive, friendly and stimulating research environment for all our students, which stresses the diversity, openness and interdisciplinarity of our approaches to philosophy. Postgraduate students participate in reading groups, research seminars, working groups, Royal Institute of Philosophy Lectures, and conferences organised by the Department and its associated research centres. We also run a postgraduate philosophy society, Eidos, the journal Philosophical Writings, and frequently organise conferences.
