Philosophy and Politics BA

This joint honours degree develops your understanding of the institutions and practices of modern political systems, and also explores fundamental questions about the world and our place in it.

Core modules will introduce you to key principles and topics in each subject area. You can then choose from a wide selection of optional modules, meaning you can tailor your degree to suit your interests, not just within politics and philosophy, but also the wider university.

You could study topics as diverse as development, ancient philosophy, political philosophy, the nature of knowledge and the self, electioneering, the ethics of life and death, international relations, the history of ideas and political issues in regions ranging from the USA to Africa and China.

You’ll graduate with a wide range of transferrable skills, and a broad knowledge of both subject areas, enabling you to succeed in future employment.
