Philosophy and Politics, BA

Description

The BA Philosophy and Politics programme comprises an equal focus on each subject area with multiple modules on the intersection of philosophy and politics to ensure the programme explores the ways that philosophy and politics connect.

Teaching is informed from the research and teaching expertise of members of staff in the Department of Politics, Philosophy and International Relations, who specialise in the area of political philosophy / political theory and who offer specialist modules that explore the intersections of philosophy and politics.

Some of the current major issues of our time – e.g., Brexit, the American presidency of Trump, climate change, Covid-19 – have generated huge public interest in, and discussion of, politics, but also prompted substantial reflection on key political concepts such as democracy, freedom and truth. These concepts require careful philosophical analysis, such as when we consider the nature of freedom, what form of democracy is most desirable, or what it means to possess basic human rights.

Topics Likely To Be Covered

There are specialist modules on philosophy and politics at each level and exclusive to this programme.

Modules will explore conceptual themes in politics, such as the status of political knowledge, the nature of political agency, power, ideology and oppression, and theoretical lenses that structure political research (e.g., post-structuralism; feminism; intersectional theory), along with the politicisation of philosophy (e.g., epistemic injustice and de-colonising the philosophical cannon).

In your final year you will build on topics covered in years one and two and bring together philosophical accounts of knowledge, truth and the self, with political perspectives on power and freedom centred on the work of the political philosopher Michel Foucault.

Studying Philosophy equips you with key intellectual skills that are much sought-after by many employers. These include critical and creative thinking, logical problem solving, open-mindedness and effective information-analysis. Figures show that there is a growing demand for philosophy graduates across a range of industries.

Anticipated career outcomes range from:

Business
Human resources (HR)
Finance
Marketing
Public Relations (PR)
Sales
Public sector/ non-for-profit industries
