English and Philosophy BA

Students undertaking English and Philosophy at Queen’s explore literatures in English in the widest possible sense. From the earliest writings in Anglo-Saxon to contemporary Irish, British, and ‘global’ literatures, students study English in its historical, linguistic, cultural, material and ideological circumstances. In Philosophy students can study some of the key thinkers in the history of philosophy, from Plato and Aristotle to Descartes and Marx. Students also hone their skills in reasoning and argumentation by studying formal logic and critical thinking. English Studies at Queen’s brings to life an extraordinary heritage, as represented by Nobel Laureate Seamus Heaney, where a new generation of award-winning writers and the brand new Seamus Heaney Centre (2024) continue a proud tradition.
