Philosophy and Politics (BSc)

Combine your study of philosophy with the study of politics and international relations and graduate with a valuable skill set tailored to the increasingly globalised workplace. For philosophy, you will explore different philosophical methods, engage in collaboration, apply philosophy to disciplines such as science or literature, and apply philosophical approaches to civic engagement and contemporary societal issues. In politics, our course explores power, who exercises it, for whom, how it is distributed, and with what consequences. You will gain insight into the politics of different countries, regions and systems, as well as global and local political issues and movements. Bristol is home to prominent scholars and many of our academics are global leaders in areas of political study, including international relations, security, gender, political philosophy, international development, peace-building, environmental politics and the politics of Latin America, Africa, South and East Asia, the Middle East, Europe, the USA and Britain. Learn how the political sphere operates and apply philosophical methods to make a real difference in the world. Your first year includes compulsory units to ensure you build a solid grounding in both disciplines and you will have greater choices of units as you progress through the course. First-year units include Introduction to Philosophy, Logic and Critical Thinking and Realism and Normativity.In your second and third years, you will also be able to choose from a range of optional units that help you develop your own core philosophical specialisation.
