About this course
In Philosophy, we encourage you to question everything. To critique fundamental ideas, using reasoned argument, logical thinking, and creative imagination. We’re looking for people who enjoy digging beneath the surface of an issue. Challenging assumptions. Examining philosophical principles. We ask you to think for yourself, to be willing to change your mind, and to seek to change the minds of others.
You'll discuss foundational texts in the history of ideas, and important contemporary issues. You’ll explore ethics, consciousness, free will, reality, truth and justice. As well as AI, gender, political power, image technology, science, and the environment. And you’ll experience the intellectual excitement of engaging in philosophical debate.
You’ll also have the opportunity to join our Peer-Assisted Student Success (PASS) scheme. We’ll train you to lead small group discussions, so you can hand down your wisdom to other year groups. That way, you’ll gain experience in mentoring and leadership on top of your degree. Exactly the kind of skills you need for a fulfilling life and a rewarding career.
Throughout your degree, you’re expected to study for 1,200 hours per year. That’s based on 200 hours per 20 credit module. And it includes scheduled hours and independent study. How this time’s divided among each of these varies each year and depends on the course and modules you study.
You’ll be assessed by coursework rather than exams. This will include, for example, a mix of essays, a research project, presentations, formative group work, and portfolios.
In your final year, you receive one-to-one supervision in preparation for your personal research project - a dissertation on a philosophical issue that interests you.
