Welcome to Philosophy at the University of Kent.

We are a top-rated teaching department, awarded the maximum score of 24 out of 24 in the Teaching Quality Assessment. We have a thriving research culture with all of the research in the department rated of national or international standard and some world-leading. We have strong links with other disciplines in the University: we run the interdisciplinary Centre for Reasoning and collaborate widely with other subjects both within the School of European Culture and Languages and externally, e.g., with History and Philosophy of Art.
