Course summary

This exciting new course builds on the existing strength and close research connections between philosophy and politics. The course is designed to provide you with a great deal of freedom to undertake modules from the wide range of options offered by both departments. You will learn how to think carefully and critically about a variety of philosophical questions alongside engaging with everyday political problems such as immigration, poverty, war and climate change.

The course gives you strong training in both subjects as well as great flexibility in how you focus your studies. Years One and Two include core foundational modules in both philosophy and politics, as well as the space to undertake options in both subjects. In year Three you will have the freedom to choose your own path through the two subjects, as well as the opportunity to combine your learning through a jointly supervised dissertation. You will also be able to take an option in any subject each year.

You may also choose to apply for an intercalated year, spent either studying abroad or on a work placement. This extends the duration of your degree to four years and will be reflected in your degree qualification (for example, BA Philosophy and Politics with Intercalated Year, or BA Philosophy and Politics with Work Placement).
