The Philosophy component of this programme offers students a rigorous, inclusive, and research-informed education in philosophy. Students develop as analytical, critical, and creative thinkers, capable of engaging with abstract ideas and complex arguments, as well as with pressing ethical, political, and cultural issues. Students engage with philosophical traditions beyond the Western mainstream and with perspectives from historically underrepresented groups. Graduates of the programme are well prepared for postgraduate study and for a wide range of graduate careers, having developed advanced skills in critical reasoning, communication, independent enquiry, and ethical reflection, alongside the confidence to engage thoughtfully and responsibly with complex ideas in academic, professional, and public contexts.
Our Minor in Spanish enables you to attain proficiency by graduation through structured and immersive language training. You will develop advanced skills in writing, reading, speaking and listening in one of the world’s most important languages, widely spoken in Spain, across North, Central and South America, the Caribbean and extending into the United States. Spanish opens access to dynamic global regions and to rich literary, cinematic and intellectual traditions, alongside major social, cultural and historical debates. An optional Year Abroad in Spain, Latin America, or both, further strengthens fluency and intercultural competence, enhancing your career prospects worldwide.
This programme is available with a Year in Industry, which will be spent on paid placement within an organisation in industry, broadly defined. You will be supported by the School of the Arts and the Department throughout, and your reflexive written account of the experience will contribute towards your final degree result. Please note it is not possible to study both a Year in Industry and a Year Abroad on this programme.
Combined Degrees
