Bath Spa University offers a unique learning environment that fosters creativity, critical thinking, and interdisciplinary collaboration. With small class sizes and a dedicated faculty, students receive personalized attention and support throughout their studies. The university's location in Bath also provides access to a rich cultural heritage and opportunities for real-world application of philosophical concepts.

Rather than teaching philosophy primarily as a history of ideas – although we do explore this – we focus on the application of current philosophical thinking in contemporary settings and circumstances. You’ll consider our responses to environmental crises, for example, or questions of identity, belonging, social justice and the interplay between the personal and the political.

We consider Western philosophical and ethical perspectives and introduce you to the systems of thought of India and China. This mix of content and the inclusiveness of our approach make the Philosophy and Ethics course particularly distinctive, vital and compelling.
