Philosophy, Psychology and Scientific Thought BA

This degree explores three different yet closely related specialisms as they relate to a key subject: the nature of the mind.

Combining philosophy, psychology, and the history of ideas and science, this varied and interesting degree allows you to explore the most fundamental questions about our minds.

You’ll utilise scientific, philosophical and historical methods to understand what the mind is and how it works. You’ll also examine the mechanisms of the brain, childhood development, mental illness, the history of psychology and the relationship between the mind and the brain.

You can develop your understanding even further by choosing from a wide range of optional modules reflecting the diverse research interests across the University. This enables you to focus on wide-ranging topics that interest you such as ethics, the philosophy of art or religion.
