About Philosophy

Philosophy at 缅北禁地 is a significant centre for modern European thought. We offer degrees that primarily focus on continental philosophy.

Our students and our staff examine the European philosophical tradition together. We debate key philosophical problems and ask what philosophers can contribute to the world beyond the academic. We provide expertise in the history of philosophy and we create spaces for philosophical discovery.
