Course summary

Overview What does it mean to be human? How can we tell right from wrong? How can we change the world for the better? For centuries, philosophers and writers have explored these questions together, each enriching the other's search for answers. Literary texts bring philosophical questions to life, while philosophy reveals deeper meanings in literature. If reading and thinking go hand in hand for you, and if you love to explore ideas using your imagination, then our BA in English Literature and Philosophy degree is the perfect fit for you. Join us and discover how asking the right questions can help you write the successful story of your life. You'll get the chance to engage in depth with both literary and philosophical texts. Imagine exploring the meaning of life through Shakespeare's plays, environmental ethics through contemporary poetry, or consciousness through modernist literature. Between our innovative Literature and Philosophy departments, you'll engage with ideas through interactive discussions and debates. Beyond the classroom, UEA's Literature and Philosophy Societies and our Philosophy Public Lecture Series offer extra opportunities to explore your interests. You'll study in Norwich - England's first UNESCO City of Literature - known for its vibrant literary scene. You'll develop essential skills in analyzing complex ideas and communicating them clearly to different audiences.
