About this course

On this BA Philosophy degree you'll explore some of our biggest questions and concepts, like morality, existence and god. You'll study global philosophical history and literature, and learn about the major philosophers through time. A placement year abroad will let you experience a new culture and view philosophy from a new perspective. You'll choose a partner university at a placement in Europe, Asia, Australasia or North America.

This course combines a thorough exploration of philosophy with a year studying abroad. You'll learn how to argue and debate and explore questions in core areas, such as:

  • ethics
  • epistemology
  • metaphysics
  • philosophy of mind
  • political philosophy

You'll apply philosophical thought to practical questions on subjects including:

  • global poverty
  • future generations
  • sex and gender
  • artificial intelligence

  • get involved in many events, including talks by visiting philosophers and activities arranged by the student-led Philosophy Society
  • take part in other Philosophy events held by the Lifelonglearning team, where you can discuss philosophy in an informal, relaxed atmosphere
  • develop research and presentation skills
