• The BA (Hons) Philosophy degree will introduce the students to the biggest puzzles that have fascinated humans for centuries. They will consider questions such as who are they, what can we know? and what should we do to lead worthwhile lives? - as well as finding out how others have attempted to solve them.
  • Their studies will provide them with an understanding of the history of the subject, as well as contemporary debates within both the analytic and continental traditions of philosophy, ensuring you graduate with a broad understanding of the subject, while our optional modules will give them the chance to focus on particular areas of interest, such as Philosophy of Religion, Philosophy of Art, Ethics, Philosophy of Mind or Political Thought.
  • By studying the ideas and arguments of the major philosophers from the past and the present and engaging in debates with their fellow students, they will develop their thinking so it becomes more rigorous, systematic, and creative. They will also pick up transferable key skills that will be of use throughout their career, including critical analysis, complex problem solving, and judgment.
