Course summary

Our Philosophy and Global Sustainable Development (GSD) degree allows you to apply your passion for Philosophy to answering the pressing questions of our time by studying it in combination with GSD. Global Sustainable Development (GSD) encompasses a network of complex challenges that require innovative thought and practical answers. By studying Philosophy and GSD, you will encounter how thinkers of the past developed new modes of thought in response to the problems of their time. Today, global inequality, food security, and potentially irreversible changes in our environment demand new ways of thinking. Within the Philosophy Department, you will learn about key ethical theories and critical concepts such as biopower and existentialism, and develop vital reasoning and communication skills. Meanwhile, with GSD, you will take a transdisciplinary approach and confront issues from a diverse array of perspectives. You will need to be ready to think creatively and embrace new opinions from your peers from across the world. We will challenge you to become an active participant in your own learning. You can enhance your skills and studies through optional work placements, study abroad, and certificates.
