Course summary
By combining Philosophy (75% of your course) with Politics (25%) you will take Philosophy as the major element of your degree alongside some study of politics. Our Department of Politics, International Relations and Philosophy has an excellent reputation for research and teaching. Studying philosophy and politics here means that you will learn from internationally renowned experts who will share their research and experience so that you gain invaluable skills for your future career. At Royal Holloway we have a unique approach to Philosophy that looks beyond the narrow confines of the Anglo-American analytic or the European traditions of philosophy to focus on both –their relationship and connections between them. The result has been the creation of a truly interdisciplinary and collaborative course that brings together academic staff from departments across the university. With the opportunity to examine (amongst other things) the core philosophical areas of epistemology, metaphysics, ethics, political philosophy as well as the history of philosophy, combined with gaining a solid foundation in politics and political theory, studying subjects such as British, American and European politics, political communication, gender and theories of democracy and freedom.
