Existentialism
Course Details
In this course, we explore the existentialist perspective on fundamental questions such as the nature of human existence, freedom, and identity. We examine the ideas of three prominent philosophers with differing beliefs - one with a strong religious conviction, another who is an ardent atheist, and a third who approaches these issues with a sense of calm mysticism. The course aims to provide an introduction to how existentialist thinkers approach these questions and whether reason alone is sufficient to address them.

Testimonials from our students
The best lesson I have had so far was at the beginning of the course when we studied Game Theory, and when we did presentations in class about shops or platforms that we had to imagine ourselves.
The best thing about the Medicine course was the interactivity of the lectures. My tutor was really interested in the subject, so I always felt like I could go up to her and ask her questions, whether they were about what we were learning or about other areas of biotechnology.
The course gave me an insight into how to make arguments in support of or against certain positions which is useful in law and the tutor assisted me in how to structure these arguments. I've enjoyed the company of having a roommate and that you make so many new friends.
