This programme aims to provide an understanding of a range of central philosophical debates, as well as an understanding of the history of philosophy (Ancient, Modern and contemporary). All major areas of philosophy are available for study, including moral and political philosophy, metaphysics, epistemology, and logic, as well as some Continental philosophy.
In each year of your degree you will take a number of individual modules, normally valued at 15 or 30 credits, adding up to a total of 120 credits for the year. Modules are assessed in the academic year in which they are taken. The balance of compulsory and optional modules varies from programme to programme and year to year. A 30-credit module is considered equivalent to 15 credits in the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS).
The first year provides a foundation for later studies. Lectures will introduce the student to political philosophy (questions about the state, liberty and justice), moral philosophy (questions about the definition of right action, moral motivation, the metaphysics of moral judgements); epistemology (about knowledg and belief), metaphysics (about the nature of things, reality, personal identity, free will), and introductory logic, which models principles of sound reasoning. All of these are compulsory for single-subject students.
In your second and third years you choose from a range of modules. The only constraint on choice is a liberal 'breadth' requirement; beyond that, all modules in years 2 and 3 are optional. These may include metaphysics, epistemology, the philosophies of mind and language, moral and political philosophy, aesthetics, and central historical figures (for example Aristotle, Kant, Nietzsche).
The programme is designed to ensure coverage of the central areas of Philosophy, while also allowing you to choose from an array of optional modules (some of which may be taken from other UCL departments).
Upon successful completion of 360 credits, you will be awarded a BA (Hons) in Philosophy.
