The subject has so many different routes and you learn so much with having many interesting debates and great conversations with classmates and teachers. The teachers do everything they can to support you and ensure you flourish; they show incredible passion for the subject and for their students' progress and always know how to help in the best way.

“Choosing philosophy as a subject was very impulsive for me and it has turned out to be one of the best decisions I have ever made. I am really going to miss the class and the lessons as I really enjoyed them. Could go on all day about how good of an experience it’s been but just wanted to say that I will be forever grateful to you. You have made me realize that even I can revise when I want something (this was a big step).”
