The course provides students from a variety of academic backgrounds with a broad literacy across different philosophical literatures and approaches. It develops students as active and independent philosophical researchers, able to bring philosophical thinking and methods to bear on a range of practical, policy-based and theoretical problems.
The course teaches students skills that are transferrable to a vast array of career opportunities. These include analytical and critical skills on how to identify relevant information from both academic and non-academic sources, including those that have traditionally been ignored due to sexist, racist and ableist bias; how to analyse and engage critically with an interdisciplinary and global literature in order to generate original and sophisticated arguments; how to apply general philosophical and social scientific theories to understand specific, real-life problems in education, such as pedagogical challenges in the classroom; how to respect, understand and assess a plurality of methodologies in the social sciences and humanities and value them within the context they were generated; how to communicate arguments effectively and confidently in writing and orally to both academic and non-academic audiences; and how to collaborate with others in research.
The course runs a careers and employability series where students can learn how to apply philosophical skills to potential careers, including having a session with philosophers of education who work in both educational practice and policy related careers
