BA (Hons) in Politics and Philosophy and Ethics
You will explore questions of social justice, bioethics, and the nature of truth from different historical and contemporary philosophical perspectives. You will also be introduced to contemporary political issues, from political economy to security studies, and have developed the analytical skills and research abilities that will serve you well in the world of work. By the end of this degree, you will be an authority in the complex and complementary relationship between Politics, Philosophy, and Ethics.
This three-year course (full-time) is structured around four thematic strands of study: British Politics, International Politics, Defence and Security, Political Thought and Practice. You will receive a solid grounding in the theoretical approaches and research methods in Politics and will have the opportunity to complete an individual research project under the personal supervision of experienced researchers.
The course is designed to develop both your transferable skills and subject-specific knowledge. You will learn, through the tutorial experience, to read and study key texts in detail, to think critically and analytically about important ideas and issues, and to write knowledgeably and attractively about questions that matter to you and to society. You will also learn about philosophical and ethical ideas.
