Program Description

Philosophy is about critically making sense of ourselves and the world around us. It involves asking and trying to answer the most fundamental questions about the natural and social world – from puzzles about the nature of consciousness, the metaphysics of gender, the ethics and politics of sustainability, to questions about whether modern culture dominates or liberates people. 

On BA (Hons) Philosophy, you’ll consider a range of diverse and fascinating figures, such as Socrates, Baruch Spinoza, and David Hume, to more contemporary thinkers such as Frantz Fanon, Hannah Arendt, and Patricia Hill Collins. You’ll consider a range of ground-breaking philosophical positions across multiple areas of philosophy. And along the way, you’ll find your philosophical voice and develop a rich set of analytical, digital, and critical skills invaluable for your future – with the power to positively influence others and drive progressive change.

As a philosophy student, you will join a hub of research-active philosophers, many of whom are invited to present at major international conferences and workshops. Our staff work across key areas including History of Philosophy, critical social theories, Philosophy of Art, Metaphysics, Philosophy of Education, History and Philosophy of Science and much more – with this expertise behind us, we can give you a rounded, balanced understanding of the subject.
