Philosophy (with Foundation Year) at Oxford Brookes University - UCAS

Course summary

Philosophy helps us tackle life’s biggest questions, from moral responsibility and social conventions to the rise of fake news. It equips you with the critical thinking skills to navigate complex ideas and unlock diverse career opportunities in the 21st century. Our BA Philosophy with a Foundation Year begins with essential humanities-focused study, preparing you for degree-level learning. Passing this foundation year leads to our BA Philosophy programme, where you'll explore modern philosophical ideas, including the philosophy of mind, epistemology, and moral philosophy, alongside key thinkers and historical perspectives. You’ll develop research, evaluation, and communication skills while investigating how philosophy applies to real-world issues. Optional modules allow you to tailor your studies, from global issues to Eastern religious philosophies. Beyond the classroom, you can join the Philosophy Society, gain work experience through placements, or study abroad to broaden your perspective and boost your CV.
