Philosophy and Modern Languages & Cultures, BA (Hons)

This course delves into the interplay between language and philosophical thought, examining how historical philosophy has influenced modern European cultures. Students divide their studies between the School of Languages and Cultures and the Department of Philosophy, achieving proficiency in one or two languages while exploring diverse topics such as major thinkers, the philosophy of education, feminism, and metaphysics. This flexible program allows customization based on personal interests, integrating European studies in politics, history, film, or literature, and fostering analytical skills alongside advanced language development.Why pursue this course? It combines philosophy with up to two languages from a selection of ten, including German, French, Russian, and others, to deepen understanding of cultural intricacies. A third-year abroad immerses students in the language and society, while collaboration with the Centre for Engaged Philosophy addresses critical issues like criminal justice, social inclusion, and climate ethics.
