Strand Campus
Strand Campus sits along the Thames at London's cultural heart. Alongside world-class teaching spaces, students enjoy access to the pedestrianised Strand Quad, with Somerset House and iconic landmarks just steps away.
Overview
Our new joint-honours degree combines Artificial Intelligence with philosophy’s study of the big questions. This unique degree is the first of its kind in the UK, and will equip you with technical and critical thinking skills that open doors to careers in tech, government, journalism, business, research and more.
Students on the Artificial Intelligence & Philosophy with a Year Abroad BSc will spend their third year studying abroad before returning to complete a final year with King’s. Students on the three year course may transfer to the four year Artificial Intelligence & Philosophy with a Year Abroad BSc.

Studying philosophy at King’s has allowed me to not only learn about famous ancient scholars like Plato, but has also taught me how to apply their thoughts to modern day situations.
