English and Philosophy (BA)

This course gives you the opportunity to study two distinct disciplines: You will learn the fundamental philosophical principles of logic, metaphysics, epistemology, ethics and political philosophy, and study English literature in its full extent and diversity from the medieval period to the present day, including work on individual authors, topics, and genres. You will also be able to explore your own interests by choosing from a range of stimulating optional and research-led subjects. The curriculum is designed to enable you to benefit from the research expertise of members of staff from both disciplines. In your first year in philosophy, you will gain a grounding in the fundamentals of philosophy through two mandatory introductory units; one exploring issues in epistemology and metaphysics; the other concerning moral and political philosophy. You will also take a unit in critical thinking and logic. In year two, you complete your foundation in philosophy with mandatory units and conduct more detailed studies from ethics to philosophy of language. The third-year units require engagement with the latest research. Students reach a high level of attainment and are well prepared for postgraduate study, both in philosophy and many other subjects. In your first year in English, you will take two units that are designed to help you make the transition to university-level study, alongside a survey unit that will introduce you to literature from a particular historical era. In your second year, you will have the opportunity to take additional survey units, as well as exploration units - which offer a deeper dive into the literature of particular historical periods - and specialist subjects, which are research-led units. The English and Philosophy degree will equip you with a wide range of transferable skills, including textual analysis, clear written and verbal expression and critical thinking, which are valuable in a wide range of careers. We accept a wide variety of qualifications and welcome applications from students of all backgrounds. Below is a guide to the typical offers for this course.
