I have taught in the programme for many years, and I have been very impressed with the programme.
It gives the students a very good education and the level of participation in the seminars and the discussion among students is at a very high level. So, overall, all in all, I am quite impressed.
Timothy Williamson
In a very short time, a very high quality Masters programme has been developed and the students are interested and are well-informed and many of them are going to go on to do PhD's and become members of the philosophy profession.
