Course summary
English and Philosophy are both ways of exploring and understanding human life. The great themes of literature and debates around language are continuous with the big issues of philosophy. Shared questions include:
- what are the struggles, conflicts, and challenges of human life?
- how should we navigate the social, moral, and personal struggles that make up the drama of living?
- English - language, literature, linguistics and drama from Old English to the present day
- Philosophy - traditional topics such as ethics and philosophy of mind alongside emerging areas like environmental and social philosophy
Modules
In year one you will receive a thorough grounding in both subjects to prepare you to specialise in years two and three. Years two and three are fully optional - choose modules that grab your interest or develop your choices into a particular theme. Normally you will study each subject equally. Your final year dissertation is a chance to develop a longer piece of work that can combine both subjects into one project. There are also opportunities for work experience and volunteering to build your professional skills and experience as well as Study Abroad options.
