Philosophy and Politics, BA (Hons)

A joint degree in Philosophy and Politics enables students to examine and discuss profound philosophical inquiries, such as "How should we live?" and "Is there a God?" while investigating the key themes, concepts, and events that have influenced modern politics. Through guidance from field experts, participants gain insight into current issues across both disciplines, including questions like our obligations to the state, the power of ideas to transform society, and the nature of right, wrong, truth, and falsehood.The programme begins with foundational modules such as Introduction to Philosophy and Politics in the Modern World. In subsequent years, students can select from a wide array of options, including Politics and History of the Middle East; International Relations, Security and Sustainability; Politics of Development and Global Changes; Understanding Key Economic Concepts; and Issues in Contemporary Politics and Philosophy.
