BA (Honours) Arts and Humanities (Philosophy)

The degree starts by developing your understanding of our world through various perspectives, periods, and subjects. You will then take two specialist philosophy modules, discovering more about the ideas of philosophers past and present and learning to tackle the big questions of philosophy yourself. You will explore a range of debates in ethics and political philosophy, as well as questions about the nature of the self, the existence of God, and the limits of human knowledge.

Alongside your study of philosophy, you can choose to study a second specialism from art history, classical studies, creative writing, English language, English literature, history, modern languages, music, and religious studies. This will entitle you to include both subjects in the name of your degree or complete your degree with modules chosen from a wide range of options.

• Specialise in philosophy within a broad and flexible arts and humanities degree

• Develop a range of skills that will be valuable in the workplace and to further study

• Have the opportunity to write an extended essay drawing on independent study

• Select a second specialism to complement and enhance your study of philosophy

There are no formal entry requirements for this qualification.
