Studying English and Philosophy together is your invitation to dive into age-old debates about what it means to be human. You'll study everything from theatre, poetry and creative writing to ethics, metaphysics and the philosophy of art. You’ll explore what it means to live a meaningful life.
Delve into some of the oldest debates, exploring the human experience through literature, language and philosophical thought.
English and philosophical thought are both interested in questioning the very nature of our existence. Whether it’s exploring the meaning of life, the definition of morality or the role of religion, these big topics will help you tackle the issues of today.
In English, you'll study literature and language from the medieval period to the present day, with the chance to explore areas as diverse as animal studies, the history of the Gothic, Post-Colonial literature, old English, linguistic theory, theatre, the history of English, creative writing, and film.
In Philosophy, you'll study the essential cornerstones of the subject (including philosophy of language, ethics, metaphysics and logic) alongside distinctive specialist modules on topics like philosophy of education, philosophy of law, philosophy of the arts, film and philosophy, and feminism.
During your time with us, you’ll develop a highly transferable set of skills, including:
- Excellent oral and written communication
- Independent working
- Time management and organisation
- Planning and researching written work
- Articulating knowledge and understanding of texts, concepts and theories
- Leading and participating in discussions
- Negotiation and teamwork
- Creative thinking and adaptability
- Critical reasoning and analysis
