Course summary

Overview Our philosophy with a Year Abroad degree is a great opportunity to explore fundamental questions – about ethics, the nature of the good, human and animal minds, the nature of religious belief, and the place of humans in the universe. Discover how the great thinkers of the past imagined the world and how their radical ideas might still be of relevance today. Find out how studying philosophy can help you to tackle current issues – climate justice, conspiracy theories, and uncertainty in a ‘post-truth’ world. UEA philosophy’s staff reflects this great diversity, as we teach and research across a broad range of topics. This means you can tailor your degree to reflect your interests. Our seminar system will allow you to present and test your own ideas in a supportive environment, and we have a varied means of assessment of the skills you’ll develop during your learning journey. Our goal is to bring out the best in you. You’ll be equipped with a brilliant range of analytical skills for both presenting complex ideas simply, and criticising poor arguments or dubious appeals to evidence. These are exactly the skills many employers prize and our graduates go on to exciting and rewarding careers in teaching, government, journalism, law, environmental work, business, the arts, and beyond. Studying philosophy at university is one of the most satisfying ways to spend your student years. It can be life-changing, prompting you to reflect on your values and your contribution to the wider world. On this version of the course, you’ll have the exciting opportunity to spend your third year studying at one of our partner institutions across the globe.
