Overview

In Philosophy, we encourage you to question everything. To critique fundamental ideas, using reasoned argument, logical thinking, and creative imagination. We’re looking for people who enjoy digging beneath the surface of an issue. Challenging assumptions. Examining philosophical principles. We ask you to think for yourself, to be willing to change your mind, and to seek to change the minds of others. You'll discuss foundational texts in the history of ideas, and important contemporary issues. You’ll explore ethics, consciousness, free will, reality, truth and justice. As well as AI, gender, political power, image technology, science, and the environment. And you’ll experience the intellectual excitement of engaging in philosophical debate. You’ll also have the opportunity to join our Peer-Assisted Student Success (PASS) scheme. We’ll train you to lead small group discussions, so you can hand down your wisdom to other year groups. That way, you’ll gain experience in mentoring and leadership on top of your degree. Exactly the kind of skills you need for a fulfilling life and a rewarding career. Love a good argument? So do we.
