1 Pathways to Philosophy

2 ISFP Awards

3 Diploma and BA Degree

Take a Pathways program if you are looking for a course to challenge you and engage your interest in the questions of philosophy. Or you can use Pathways as a stimulating way to prepare for university entry.

There are 6 Pathways: Introduction, Mind, Ancient Philosophy, Philosophy of Language, Ethics and Metaphysics. Each Pathway consists in fifteen study units of around 5000 words sent at intervals of 1–4 weeks, or on request.

The Associate and Fellowship Awards from the International Society for Philosophers are for students who have some knowledge of philosophy, or want to continue their studies after taking a Pathways program.

The ISFP Awards give you the opportunity to devise your own plan of study. Essay portfolios and dissertations which have been awarded the Associate or Fellowship are posted at the Pathways Essay Archive.

The Pathways School of Philosophy is the main provider of tutorial support for students registered with the University of London External Programme leading to a Diploma or BA (Hons) Degree in Philosophy.

The Diploma normally takes 2 years, the BA 5 years. The BA degree presents a big challenge to students undertaking their studies via distance learning, requiring a maximum amount of motivation and commitment.
