Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Philosophy

Program Overview

Philosophy is about critically making sense of ourselves and the world around us. It involves asking and trying to answer the most fundamental questions about the natural and social world – from puzzles about the nature of consciousness, free will, the metaphysics of gender, the ethics and politics of sustainability, to questions about whether modern culture dominates or liberates people.

By studying philosophy, you’ll find yourself in dialogue with a range of diverse and fascinating figures, such as Socrates, Baruch Spinoza, and David Hume, to more contemporary thinkers such as Frantz Fanon, Hannah Arendt, and Patricia Hill Collins. You’ll critically reflect on many ground-breaking philosophical positions across multiple areas of philosophy. And along the way, you’ll find your intellectual voice and develop a rich set of academic and professional skills invaluable for your future – with the power to positively influence others and drive progressive change.

As a student in the Department of History, Politics and Philosophy, you will join a hub of research-active internationally acclaimed philosophers, many of whom are invited to present at major international conferences and workshops. Our staff work across key areas including history of philosophy, critical social theories, philosophy of art, metaphysics, philosophy of education, history and philosophy of science and much more – with this expertise behind us, we can give you a rounded, international, balanced understanding of the subject.

You may also have the opportunity to spend a year studying overseas, including in the US, or on placement, with opportunities available in Britain or abroad.*

This course has a foundation year available.

*Placement and/or study abroad options may be available, potentially extending the duration of study up to 4 years. Study abroad will be subject to any international travel restrictions and/or availability.

Career Opportunities

Because philosophy teaches you not what to think, but how to think, its study naturally leads to the development of many skills that are highly prized by employers, for example the ability to think clearly, logically, and creatively, to communicate articulately and accurately (both verbally and in writing), and to analyse critically and rigorously. A degree in Philosophy opens a wide range of career paths, from roles in the civil service, teaching and not-for-profits, to the media, banking and recruitment.
