Course Overview

Combining English and Philosophy gives you a wide range of modules to choose from. You can explore the history of English literature from the medieval period to the present day, with topics ranging from Shakespeare and Romantic poetry to science fiction, creative writing, visual culture, Victorian novels and Hollywood films.

You’ll begin by developing key skills, such as analysing poetry and reading novels as a literary critic, before exploring different literary periods, movements and topics in greater depth.

In Philosophy, you’ll explore questions about human existence through critical thinking and argument. The course specialises in continental (European) philosophy and introduces you to key texts from the European tradition.

You’ll also discover how philosophy connects to real-world concerns and contemporary issues. This includes exploring films and artwork, discussing important scientific and technological developments, debating ethical issues, and examining how historical philosophical ideas remain relevant to political and social issues today.
