Philosophy with Spanish
- MA (Hons)
- 4 Years
- Full-time
- September 2025
- Undergraduate
- Main Site
Course summary
Philosophy explores our existence using critical thinking and argument. If you find yourself thinking about life's big issues and questions, philosophy could be for you.
We specialise in continental (European) philosophy and teach key texts from the European tradition, including some of the most exciting thinkers of the last century.
We help you look at how philosophy is important to real-world concerns and contemporary issues by:
-
exploring films and artwork
-
discussing important scientific and technological developments
-
debating controversial ethical issues
-
looking at how texts written 300 years ago can be relevant to political situations today
At Levels 1 and 2 you will receive a grounding in ancient and modern philosophy and be introduced to fundamental ideas concerning ethics, epistemology (the nature of knowledge) and metaphysics (the nature of reality).
You then specialise in Levels 3 and 4 by drawing on a range of philosophy modules taught by lecturers engaging in interdisciplinary research.
You will study existentialism in relation to contemporary culture, technology, and film, and topics in aesthetics and the philosophy of art. You will also be encouraged to make links between philosophy and other subjects.
You'll also study one Spanish module per semester in each Level, either as a beginner or at intensive level if you have previously studied the language at Higher/A-Level.

Contextual admissions
Universities and colleges consider more than grades when assessing applications and may make offers based on a range of criteria. Learn more about contextual offers.
Achieving a strong set of qualifications is key to earning a place at the University. We understand grades are influenced by things outside your control, such as the impact of deprivation where you live. That’s why each year we look at each student's application in detail including circumstances outside of your control that may have impacted your potential.
